Abstract

The scattering of TE polarized plane wave by metal-coated dielectric nanocylinders is investigated with a particular emphasis on the enhancement of the near fields. If the wavelength of illumination is properly chosen, two unique near field distributions can be excited through the surface plasmon resonances. The enhanced near fields are localized along the inner or outer interface of the coating metal, being dependent on the wavelengths. It is shown that the scattering cross-section of the nanocylinders is also enhanced when the illuminating field resonates to the surface plasmons of the structures.
