Usability of Tilted Plasmon Antenna with Structured Light

We study the effect of oblique illumination on the functioning of a plasmonic nanoantenna for chiral light. The antenna is designed to receive a structured beam of light and produce a nanosized near-field distribution that possesses nonzero orbital angular momentum. The design consists of metal (gol...
