Abstract

The localized surface plasmons of metallic nanoparticles are able to concentrate light into small volumes, which lead to a variety of fundamental studies and practical applications in plasmonics. For example, by strong coupling between metallic nanoparticles, 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 in the past decade. The near- and far-field responses of the plasmonic nanoantennas for example, the intensity and phase distributions, and the emission polarization state are found to be sensitive to polarization. This sensitivity is determined to arise from structural properties including particle size, shape, spacing, relative positions and symmetry of nanoparticles. In this review, we will discuss our recent advances in plasmonic nanoparticle antennas from the polarization point of view, i.e., control of the incident polarization-dependent near-field enhancement, control of the (far-field) polarization of elastic or inelastic scattering light, and outlook the corresponding impacts in understanding physics and nanophotonic devices applications.
