Plasmonic hybridized transverse magnetic like (TM-like) cavity modes in multi-layered metal-dielectric circular nanoantenna are systematically studied. The main purpose is to explore the symmetry features of the vertical modal profile and its impact on the in-plane interference of gap plasmonic waves that are responsible to the resonant mode. It is found that only vertically in-phase modes are excitable when illuminated by a plane wave under normal incidence and more could be selectively excited using a dipole source, within the wavelength range from 430 nm-1250 nm. More specifically, the excitation of localized cavity modes is shown to be highly sensitive to the dipole position which determines symmetry matching and the degree of field overlap between the dipole source and the cavity mode pattern. Furthermore, we show that the resonance frequencies can be approximately predicted by the dispersion relations of plasmonic wave in the corresponding two-dimensional multilayered structure. Our results would be helpful for the design of photonic nanoantennas with alternative metal and dielectric medium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
