Carbon Nanotubes as Optical Antennae
Light scattering from an array of aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has previously been investigated, and shown to be consistent with that from an array of antennae. Two basic antenna effects have been demonstrated: 1) the polarization effect, which suppresses the response of an antenna when the electric field of the incoming radiation is polarized perpendicular to the dipole antenna ...
متن کاملThe “ optical lever ” intracavity readout scheme for gravitational - wave antennae
An improved version of the " optical bar " intracavity readout scheme for gravitational-wave antennae is considered. We propose to call this scheme " optical lever " because it can provide significant gain in the signal displacement of the local mirror similar to the gain which can be obtained using ordinary mechanical lever with unequal arms. In this scheme displacement of the local mirror can...
متن کاملSuperconducting nanowire single-photon detectors integrated with optical nano-antennae.
Optical nano-antennae have been integrated with semiconductor lasers to intensify light at the nanoscale and photodiodes to enhance photocurrent. In quantum optics, plasmonic metal structures have been used to enhance nonclassical light emission from single quantum dots. Absorption and detection of single photons from free space could also be enhanced by nanometallic antennae, but this has not ...
متن کاملAural Antennae
Aural Antennae are portable devices which translate sound impulses into vibrotactile stimulus. By swapping audio sensation for haptic sensation we illustrate one variety of artificial synesthesia. The compact devices can be worn to act as electronic travel aids for the hearing-impaired or used for augmented reality applications. Using a simple model of the audio scene’s background noise, the de...
متن کاملCockroach antennae
Cockroach antennae have been extensively used for studying the multifunctional sensory appendage that generates the olfactory, gustatory, tactile, thermal, and humidity senses. Of the variety of senses, the tactile sense is thought to play a key role for perceiving physical objects. Because most cockroach species are nocturnal, the tactile sense of the antenna would be essential to determine th...
