Abstract

The electromagnetic coupling between metal nanoparticles lead to a variety of fundamental studies and practical applications in plasmonics. For example, by strong coupling between metallic nanostructures, plasmonic antennas are able to concentrate and re-emit light in a controllable way. A variety of structures of optical antennas have been investigated in the past decade. In this review, we will discuss the coupled plasmonic nanoantennas from the typical applications point of view, i.e., control of local intensity, control of emission direction, control of far-field polarization, and outlook the corresponding impacts in understanding physics.
