摘要
We present a new class of nanoscale plasmonic sources based on subwavelength dielectric cavities embedded in a metal slab. Exploiting the strong dispersion near the Fabry-Perot resonance in such a resonator, we control the phase and the amplitude of the generated plasmons at the subwavelength scale. As an example, we present a subwavelength unidirectional plasmonic antenna utilizing interference between two plasmonic cavity sources with matched phase and amplitude.
