Electrically driven plasmonic nanoantennas can be integrated as a local source of the optical signal of advanced photonic schemes for on-chip data processing. The inelastic electron tunneling provides the photon generation or launch of surface plasmon waves. This process can be enhanced by the local density of optical states of nanoantennas. In this paper, we used scanning tunnel microscopy-induced light emission to probe the local optoelectronic properties of single gold nanodiscs. The electromagnetic field distribution in the vicinity of plasmonic structures was investigated with high spatial resolution. The obtained photon maps reveal the nonuniform distribution of electromagnetic near-fields, which is consistent with nanoantenna optical modes. Also, the analysis of derived I(V) curves showed a direct correlation between the nanoantenna optical states and the appearance of features on current-voltage characteristics.
