Fig. 2.3 Schematic diagram of nanophotonic matching system. The function is based on a quadrupole-dipole transform via optical near-fleld interactions, tind it is achieved through shape-engineered nanostructures and their associated optical near-field interactions...

We demonstrate that two nanostructures can be designed to exhibit far-fleld radiation only under the condition that the shapes of the two structures are appropriately combined and closely stacked. This function of the two nanostructures can be regarded effectively as a lock and a key, because only an appropriate combination of a lock and a key yields an output signal, namely, far-fleld radiation [21,27]. Figure 2.3 shows a schematic diagram of the nanophotonic matching system based on this function.
