Figures & Tables

Fig. 1. (a) Sketch of the nanogap antenna. The antenna is composed of two gold nanowire arms of length L (with a square cross section of side length D=40 nm) separated by a nanogap (gap width w=30 nm). a1, a2, b1, and b2 are the complex amplitude coefficients of SPPs at the complex eigenfrequency of QNMs. (b) and (c) definitions of SPP scattering coefficients ρ, τ, and r and scattered fields ΨSPP,+G,s and ΨSPP,+R,s used in the model.
