We present an analytical “coupled mode” model explaining enhancement of emission by an emitter placed within complexes of metal nanoparticles and apply it for an important case of an emitter placed inside the gap of two coupled Au nanospheres. This approach has dual advantages of exposing the underling physics of the enhancement and revealing a straightforward path toward optimization.
