Abstract
We fabricate a hybrid nanoswitch with polarization-dependent properties by tailoring the near-field nanoenvironment of a plasmonic nanoantenna. Positioning a phase-transforming nanoparticle at the nanoantenna´s optical focus allows modulation of nanoscale light fields with specific polarizations.
