Abstract

With the aid of multi-sphere dyadic Green's function, we present a design of optical nanoantenna which is composed of a nonperiodic nanoparticle dimer chain. By breaking the periodicity of the dimer chain, the radiative emission of the dimer chain is significantly enhanced because the strong coupling which limits radiation enhancement is inhibited when the separations between dimers are reduced. Our work clearly shows the crucial role of nonperiodicity in the design of the Yagi-Uda nanoantenna.
