Abstract

This chapter describes an analytical model developed to study the Fano resonance effect in clusters of spherical plasmonic nanoparticles under local excitation. The model depicted the case of a parallel single dipole emitter that was near-field coupled to a pentamer or heptamer cluster of nanospheres. Spatial polarization and field distributions of the optical states and resonance spectra for these cluster configurations were calculated. The directivity calculation was analyzed in order to qualify the redirection of emission. Performances of various nanoantennae were investigated and fully characterized in terms of spatial geometric differences and the Fano resonance effect on plasmonic nanoparticles in the optical domain. Light radiation patterns were found to be significantly affected by nanosphere sizes and positioning of nanospheres with respect to the dipole. A coupling capacitor is calculated as an equivalent component in the proposed circuit model in order to describe the coupling effect between subradiant and superradiant mode in the Fano resonance. The circuit impedances of tetramer, pentamer, and broken symmetry pentamer are simulated, with resultant circuit models in agreement with the calculated results based on S-parameters. The analytical treatment of these modeled nanoantennae yielded results that are applicable to physical design and utilization considerations for clusters in nanoantennae mechanisms.
