The remote excitation and remote-controlling of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in a heterotype and hollow gold nanosheet (HGNS) is studied using FDTD simulations. The heterotype HGNS contains an equilateral and hollow triangle in the center of a special hexagon, which forms a so-called hexagon–triangle (H–T) heterotype HGNS. If we focus the incident-exciting laser on one of the vertexes of the center triangle, the LSPR could be achieved among other remote vertexes of the outer hexagon. The LSPR wavelength and peak intensity depend sensitively on factors such as the polarization of the incident light, the size and symmetry of the H–T heterotype structure, etc. Several groups of the optimized parameters were screened out from numerous FDTD calculations, which help to further obtain some significant polar plots of the polarization-dependent LSPR peak intensity with two-petal, four-petal or six-petal patterns. Remarkably, based on these polar plots, the on-off switching of the LSPR coupled among four HGNS hotspots could be remote-controlled simply via only one polarized light, which shows promise for its potential application in remote-controllable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), optical interconnects and multi-channel waveguide switches.
