Abstract
Although noble metal nanoantennas have distinctive optical properties and local electric field enhancement, considerable non-radiative ohmic losses occur at the optical frequencies, consequently creating significant absorption and unwanted heating. Combining the plasmon mode of metal nanoantennas with the anapole mode of high refractive index dielectric materials offers a promising alternative to increase the electric field strength with minimal loss. Herein, a silicon disk with slots and two Au rings with a coupling mechanism are described. To elucidate the field enhancement mechanism, the near-field enhancement features and near-field electric field distributions are explored by a numerical simulation and multipole decomposition analysis. By opening the slit to generate high-intensity hot spots inside the disk, the electric field can be enhanced significantly, and nearby molecules can directly contact these hot spots. The resulting large field enhancement suggests significant applications to strong photon-exciton coupling and nonlinear photonics.
