Directional Plasmonic Nano-Antennas
We address 2D arrays of metallic nano-particles arranged in a honeycomb lattice in the proximity of a hetero-interface of two media with high dielectric contrast. These systems can function as antennas in the visible range of the spectrum. We demonstrate that their radiation patterns can be made very directional by appropriate choice of the system geometry and materials. We show also that if su...
متن کاملCoupling of light from microdisk lasers into plasmonic nano-antennas.
An optical dipole nano-antenna can be constructed by placing a sub-wavelength dielectric (e.g., air) gap between two metallic regions. For typical applications using light in the infrared region, the gap width is generally in the range between 50 and 100 nm. Owing to the close proximity of the electrodes, these antennas can generate very intense electric fields that can be used to excite nonlin...
متن کاملRobust Cylindrical Plasmonic Nano-Antennas for Light-Matter Interaction
A cylindrical metallic plasmonic nano-antenna consisting of a shell supporting a disk, named capped shell, is proposed and studied by frequency domain finite element analysis. This new topology is shown to be weakly dependent on the radius of the structure and is therefore suitable for fabrication by parallel processes such as island lithography which generates a pseudo-random array with a dist...
متن کاملComputational modeling of plasmonic thin-film terahertz photoconductive antennas
This work presents a computational approach for investigating terahertz photoconductive antennas with enhanced performance via thin-film plasmonic electrode configurations. The commercially available finite element method solver COMSOL Multiphysics is implemented to solve Maxwell’s wave equations along with the coupled drift-diffusion/Poisson’s equations. The proposed approach is compared with ...
متن کاملHighly sensitive and selective sugar detection by terahertz nano-antennas
Molecular recognition and discrimination of carbohydrates are important because carbohydrates perform essential roles in most living organisms for energy metabolism and cell-to-cell communication. Nevertheless, it is difficult to identify or distinguish various carbohydrate molecules owing to the lack of a significant distinction in the physical or chemical characteristics. Although there has b...
