Highly sensitive beam steering with plasmonic antenna
In this work, we design and study a highly sensitive beam steering device that integrates a spiral plasmonic antenna with a subwavelength metallic waveguide. The short effective wavelength of the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) mode supported by the metallic waveguide is exploited to dramatically miniaturize the device and improve the sensitivity of the beam steering. Through introducing a ti...
متن کاملDemonstration of beam steering via dipole-coupled plasmonic spiral antenna
Optical antennas have been utilized to tailor the emission properties of nanoscale emitters in terms of the intensity, directivity and polarization. In this letter, we further explore the capability of beam steering via the use a spiral plasmonic structure as a transmitting antenna. According to both numerical simulation and experimental observations, the beaming direction can be steered throug...
متن کاملWideband plasmonic beam steering in metal gratings.
We demonstrate controllable light deflection in thick metal gratings with periodic subwavelength slits filled with an active material. Under specific illumination conditions, the grating becomes nearly transparent and acts as a uniform optical phased-array antenna where the phase of the radiating elements is controlled by modifying the index of refraction of the material that fills each slit. T...
متن کاملHighly sensitive plasmonic silver nanorods.
We compare the single-particle plasmonic sensitivity of silver and gold nanorods with similar resonance wavelengths by monitoring the plasmon resonance shift upon changing the environment from water to 12.5% sucrose solution. We find that silver nanoparticles have 1.2 to 2 times higher sensitivity than gold, in good agreement with simulations based on the boundary-elements-method (BEM). To excl...
متن کاملAntenna Array Designs with Advanced Beam Steering Capabilities
Two new antenna array designs with advanced beam steering capabilities are described. The first is based on an integrated design using Ferroelectric and Continuous Transverse Stub (CTS) technologies, while the other is based on a hybrid smart antenna approach that combines the desired features from both the adaptive and switched beam approaches. The complementary features of these two analog an...
