Optical properties of new hybrid nanoantenna in submicron cavity

Abstract An essential area of nanophotonics is the creation of efficient quantum emitters operating at high frequencies. In this regard, plasmon nanoantennas based on nanoparticles on metal (nanopatch antennas) are incredibly relevant. We have created and investigated a new hybrid nanoantenna with a cube on metal and quantum emitters. We demonstrate an increase up to 60 times for the rate of spontaneous emission and the gap-plasmon mode changing for nanopatch antenna in the metallic well. The results show the possibility of creating plasmon antennas in a controlled way by creating an array of regularly arranged nanoscale cavities-resonators.
