We will show certain physical characteristics that leads to strong near-field field enhancement in plasmonic nanostructures using collective resonances. The structures considered generally involve two or a collection of plasmonic nanosctarrers, that sometimes are arrayed or clustered to generate even stronger collective resonance. Based on simulations, strong field enhancement will be related to possible enhancement of the excitation and emission rate of organic molecules besides clustered structures. The possibility to generate enhancement of local magnetic fields at optical wavelengths is also discussed showing some examples.
