Exact quantitative understanding of plasmon propagation along nanowires is mandatory for designing and creating functional devices. We investigate plasmon transmission through top-down fabricated single crystalline gold nanowires on a glass substrate. We show that the transmission through finite length nanowires can be described by Fabry-Pérot oscillations that beat with free-space propagating light launched at the incoupling end. Using this extended Fabry-Pérot model, experimental and simulated length dependent transmissions agree quantitatively with a fully analytical model.
