Optical properties of a plasmonic nano-antenna made of two metallic nanospheroids (prolate or oblate) are investigated analytically in quasistatic approximation. It is shown that in clusters of two nanospheroids, three types of plasmonic modes can be present. Two of them can be effectively excited by a plane electromagnetic wave, while the third one can be effectively excited only by a nanolocalized light source (an atom, a molecule, a quantum dot) placed in the gap between the nanoparticles. Analytical expressions for absorption and scattering cross-sections, enhancement of a local field, and radiative decay rate of a dipole source placed near such a nano-antenna are presented and analyzed.
