(color online) (a) Scattering efficiency (defined as ratio of the two-dimensional scattering cross section, which has the dimension of length and geometric length L) of two isolated square Si antennas with side lengths of L1 = 600 nm and L2 = 400 nm. The inset shows the schematic of a Si nanoantenna excited by a TM plane wave. (b) Scattered y component of the magnetic fields of ED resonance at L2 at the wavelength of 1360 nm and MQ resonance at L1 at the wavelength of 1460 nm. (c) Transmission to one end of the waveguide for individual L1 and L2 excited by a Gaussian beam focused to a 3 μm spot. (d) Relative phase difference between the waveguide modes coupled by the two nanoantennas.
