Abstract

We consider an optical dimer consisting of two particles having a resonance in the optical range, which might be used as a building block for photonic structures such as metamaterials. We find its eigenmodes that can be excited independently for symmetric and asymmetric dimers, and correlate them to the geometry of illumination that might be used to excite these modes.
