Hybrid metallo-dielectric nanophotonic platforms: how can we benefit from coupling plasmonic antennas and dielectric cavities?

Abstract – It has been recently proposed that nanophotonic platforms composed of metallic nano-antennas and dielectric microcavity could enhance light matter interaction further than what is allowed by its individual components by combining both strong field confinement and high quality factors. We further explore this concept of “hybrid metallo-dielectric resonators” which also allows for an additional control over radiation properties, in particular in the context of microdisk cavities supporting whispering gallery modes dressed by phased arrays of plasmonic antennas, to enable tailored emission directionality by quantum emitters, or the generation of beams carrying orbital angular momentum.
