Abstract
H-shaped resonant optical antennas are proposed by adding resonant strips at the ends of arms of short dipole antennas. Numerical simulations using finite-difference time-domain method show that the H-shaped antennas present greater electric field enhancement compared with optical dipole antennas at the same resonant wavelength. The slot coupling between the two arms also results in a smaller full width at half maximum of the scattering spectra. Two field-enhancing mechanisms are found to decide the resonant properties of the H-shaped antennas. The influence of the geometry is studied.
