Abstract

Using optical eigenmodes defined by the interaction between the electromagnetic fields and photonic structures it is possible to determine the optimal illumination of these structures with respect to a specific measurable quantity. One such quantity considered here is the electric field intensity in the hotspot regions of an array of nano-antennas. This paper presents two possible methods, both based on optical eigenmodes, to determine the optimal and most efficient illumination that couples to a single hotspot on top of a single nano-antenna taken from an array of nano-antennas. The two methods are compared in terms of cross-talk and overall coupling efficiency.
