Slow chemical dissolution of the surrounding polymer while measuring the transmission spectrum under floating conditions reveals near complete recovery of the missing photons. The excess losses originate in nanoclusters of overheated polymer spots at the metal interface giving rise to index and geometrical nonuniformities where the mediating plasmon modes have their field maximum.
