Abstract

An analytical model of the response of a free-electron gas within the nanorod to the incident electromagnetic wave is developed to investigate the optical antenna problem. Examining longitudinal oscillations of the free-electron gas along the antenna nanorod a simple formula for antenna resonance wavelengths proving a linear scaling is derived. Then the nanorod polarizability and scattered fields are evaluated. Particularly, the near-field amplitudes are expressed in a closed analytical form and the shift between near-field and far-field intensity peaks is deduced.
