Nanogap antennas are compelling structures for squeezing light into ultrasmall volumes. However, when gaps are shrunk to the nanometer scale, the mode losses dramatically increase. In this Letter, we report the conditions of critical coupling between the arrays of nanogap resonant metal-insulator-metal (MIM) antennas…
