Stimulated electron energy loss and gain spectroscopy (sEELS and sEEGS) are used to image the nearfield of the bonding and antibonding localized surface plasmon resonance modes in nanorod dimers. A scanning transmission electron microscope equipped with an optical delivery system is used to simultaneously irradiate plasmonic nanorod dimers while electron energy loss and gain spectra of the active plasmons are collected. The length of the nanorod dimer is varied such that the bonding and antibonding modes are resonant with the laser energy. The optically bright bonding mode is clearly observed in the resonant sEEG spectrum images and, consistent with spontaneous EELS, no direct evidence of the hot spot is observed in sEEG. s-polarized irradiation does not stimulate the energy gain of the optically dark antibonding mode. However, when phase retardation is introduced by tilting the longitudinal axis, the otherwise dark antibonding mode becomes sEEG active.
