Angular Radiation Patterns of Nanoantennas: an Optical Yagi-uda Antenna
We address experimentally the radiation patterns of quantum dots coupled to optical nanoantennas at specific positions. We show that the emission of the coupled system is determined by a variety of resonant and non-resonant antenna modes both in polarization and angular pattern. The first working optical Yagi-Uda antenna is presented and unidirectional emission is demonstrated for a limited spe...
متن کاملInput impedance, nanocircuit loading, and radiation tuning of optical nanoantennas.
Here we explore the radiation features of optical nanoantennas, analyzing the concepts of optical input impedance, optical radiation resistance, impedance matching, and loading of plasmonic nanodipoles. We discuss how the concept of antenna impedance may be applied to optical frequencies and how its quantity may be properly defined and evaluated. We exploit these concepts in the optimization of...
متن کاملTunable Optical Nanoantennas Incorporating Bowtie Nanoantenna Arrays with Stimuli-Responsive Polymer
We report on a temperature-responsive tunable plasmonic device that incorporates coupled bowtie nanoantenna arrays (BNAs) with a submicron-thick, thermosensitive hydrogel coating. The coupled plasmonic nanoparticles provide an intrinsically higher field enhancement than conventional individual nanoparticles. The favorable scaling of plasmonic dimers at the nanometer scale and ionic diffusion at...
متن کاملTunable Optical Performances on a Periodic Array of Plasmonic Bowtie Nanoantennas with Hollow Cavities
We propose a design method to tune the near-field intensities and absorption spectra of a periodic array of plasmonic bowtie nanoantennas (PBNAs) by introducing the hollow cavities inside the metal nanostructures. The numerical method is performed by finite element method that demonstrates the engineered hollow PBNAs can tune the optical spectrum in the range of 400-3000 nm. Simulation results ...
متن کاملOptical spectrometer at the nanoscale using optical Yagi-Uda nanoantennas
Here we present and analyze an optical spectrum analyzer at the nanometer scale that is able to distribute different frequency contents of the radiation of an optical dipole source into different directions in the space. The spectrum analyzer is composed of arrays of optical Yagi-Uda nanoantennas, forming relatively narrow radiation patterns operating at different frequencies. The optical Yagi-...
