Many nanophotonic devices rely on the excitation of photonic resonances to enhance light-matter interaction. The understanding of the resonances is therefore of a key importance to facilitate the design of such devices. These resonances may be analyzed by use of the quasi-normal mode (QNM) theory. Here, we illustrate how QNM analysis may help study and design resonant nanophotonic devices. We will in particular use the QNM expansion of far-field quantities based on Riesz projection to design optical antennas.
