a–c Schematics of light scattering by dielectric nanoparticles (polystyrene, refractive index n = 1.6, radius r = 40 nm) situated on glass (b) and on OHM (c). Scale bar: 100 nm. d–i FDTD-calculated near-field intensity distribution in the vicinity of the dielectric nanoparticles on the glass (d–f) and on the OHM (g–i), where linearly (p-) polarized laser beam with electric field, E (red arrows), wave vector, k (black arrows), the polar angle, θ, and azimuthal angle, ϕ, was used as the excitation source at λ = 532 nm.
