Abstract

To obtain large electric field enhancement while mitigating material losses, an all-dielectric nanoantenna composed of a heptamer and nanocubes is designed and analyzed. A numerical simulation by the finite element method reveals that the nanoantenna achieves the optical electric anapole modes, thereby significantly enhancing the coupling between different dielectrics to further improve the near-field enhancement and spontaneous radiation. Field enhancement factors |E/E0|2 of 3,563 and 5,395 (AM1 and AM2) and a Purcell factor of 3,872 are observed in the wavelength range between 350 and 800 nm. This nanoantenna has promising potential in applications involving surface-enhanced Raman scattering and nonlinearities due to its low cost and excellent compatibility.
