The optical response of an array of metal nanorods is studied in the case when the cylinders almost touch by their generatrices. As the cylinders approach each other, a series of surface plasmon resonances are excited. The first longitudinal mode is different from the higher-order lateral modes. The lateral resonances occur near the frequency where the real part of the metal permittivity changes sign...
