We propose winged metal nanocone optical antennas for efficient coupling of far-field radiation into the near-field of sharp metal tips. Unlike normal sharp metal tips, the winged nanocones require no oscillating field along the tip axis for the excitation of the tips. We calculate extinction spectra and local-field enhancements for single and winged gold nanocones and show that the field enhancements in the tips of the winged cones are due to a combination of particle plasmon resonances and a lightning-rod effect. We also propose that the winged nanocones could be used for optical far-field background suppression for tip-enhanced microscopy.
