Abstract
Metal antennas-substrate coupled structures have unique features of strong nanoscale light confinement and field enhancement at the gap, which make them attractive and promising in a variety of applications such as sensing, lasing, and solar cell. Here, we built a coupled system consisting of a gold spherical semishell antenna and gold substrate. Through numerical simulation, it is found that due to the unique geometric shape of the antenna, the near-field enhancement area of the localized resonance is enlarged dramatically in the designed plasmonic structure, which is beneficial to increasing the active region, allowing more molecular adsorbed and also replaced easily. Moreover, the far-field extinction spectra of the localized dipole mode in the designed structure has higher quality factor and is more robust to the gap separation than its solid counterpart, which may relax the fabrication tolerances.
