Abstract
A cylindrical metallic plasmonic nano-antenna consisting of a shell supporting a disk, named
capped shell, is proposed and studied by frequency domain finite element analysis. This new topology is
shown to be weakly dependent on the radius of the structure and is therefore suitable for fabrication by
parallel processes such as island lithography which generates a pseudo-random array with a distribution
of diameters. Furthermore, compared to similar resonators such as rods, disks and shells, the capped
shell generates a larger volume with high fields, and is hence useful as a nano-antenna for light-matter
interaction.
