Abstract
Optical nanoantennas demonstrate the ability to confine and enhance electromagnetic fields. This ability makes nanoantennas essential tools for high-resolution microscopy. The nanoantenna resonance and response can be tuned by changing their size, shape, and material as well as adjusting the probing conditions, e.g. excitation wavelength. In this paper we simulated the propagation and interaction of visible light with computer generated models of butterfly nanoantenna arrays using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The simulations were used to understand and predict the experimental results obtained with scanning near-field microscopy (SNOM) on commercially available samples. Simulation parameters are chosen carefully to reflect the measurement conditions.
