An optical nanoantenna made of plasmonic chain resonators
We propose a novel structure that behaves like an optical antenna and converts evanescent waves into propagating waves. The system comprises metallic subwavelength cylinders distributed in a dual-period array. It is illuminated by an evanescent wave generated by total internal reflection in a close...
