Plasmonic nanoantenna arrays for the visible
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold nanoantenna arrays composed of paired elliptical cylinders are fabricated and studied experimentally and numerically. The arrays show far-field spectra resonances in the visible range for two orthogonal polarizations. Finite element method is used to accurately simulate the far-field spectra with modified gold optical properties. The resonance wavelengths and electrical field enhancement are studied as functions of the antenna dimensions. The field enhancement is found to be inversely proportional to the gap size. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Radiative engineering of plasmon lifetimes in embedded nanoantenna arrays.
It is generally accepted that the lifetimes of the localized plasmonic excitations are inherently controlled by the type of the metals and the shape of the nanoparticles. However, extended plasmonic lifetimes and enhanced near-fields in nanoparticle arrays can be achieved as a result of collective excitation of plasmons. In this article, we demonstrate significantly longer plasmon lifetimes and...

متن کاملImproving the directivity of the plasmonic sectoral horn nanoantenna using lens in its aperture
Horn antennas can result in good impedance matching between the waveguide and free space due to the gradual increase in the aperture size. In this paper, a novel plasmonic sectoral horn nanoantenna based on using lens in the aperture is proposed. It is investigated that in addition to improvement of the directivity, the reflection coefficient is also reduced using the proper lens structure. The...

Future plasmonic integrated circuits with the capability of extremely high-speed data processing at optical frequencies will be dominated by the efficient optical emission (excitation) from (of) plasmonic waveguides. Towards this goal, plasmonic nanoantennas, currently a hot topic in the field of plasmonics, have potential to bridge the mismatch between the wave vector of free-space photonics a...
متن کاملNanoantenna-assisted plasmonic enhancement of IR absorption of vibrational modes of organic molecules
Nanoantenna-assisted plasmonic enhancement of IR absorption and Raman scattering was employed for studying the vibrational modes in organic molecules. Ultrathin cobalt phthalocyanine films (3 nm) were deposited on Au nanoantenna arrays with specified structural parameters. The deposited organic films reveal the enhancement of both Raman scattering and IR absorption vibrational modes. To extend ...
