In this paper, we have proposed three different configurations of the bowtie nanoantenna represented as Single Bowtie Structure, Double Bowtie Structure (DBS), and Triple Bowtie Structure (TBS). Numerical simulations are performed with the characteristics of Nanoantenna and the analysis of the influence of the size parameter of the antennas along with the optimization of this parameter is performed to achieve the maximum near field enhancement. The result shows that TBS delivers the highest enhancement factor with a triple resonance peak. Whereas, in the second portion, the demonstrated results show the influence of the size on the enhancement of the incident field which further indicates, that as the size reduces the enhancement decreases. Furthermore, variations in the gap are simulated with four types having simple bowtie structure, reduced symmetry of DBS, reduced symmetry of TBS, and double reduced symmetry of TBS. The results significantly showed that type 4 configuration covers a wider wavelength with enhanced near electromagnetic field. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Società Italiana di Fisica and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. publisher: Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH date: 2021 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Khalil, U.K. and Farooq, W. and Iqbal, J. and Ul Abideen Kazmi, S.Z. and Khan, A.D. and Ur Rehman, A. and Ayub, S.
