Optical Antennas
Author: Matthias Dominik Wissert
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3866447655
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
The linear and nonlinear resonance behaviour of optical antennas (metallic nanostructures showing resonance behaviour at optical frequencies) made of gold and aluminum using electron-beam lithography is investigated. Specifically, it is of interest how the emission behaviour is changed by the coupling of two antenna arms via a small gap. Experimental techniques applied include dark-field spectroscopy and two-photon luminescence.

Plasmonic Optical Antennas for Enhanced Light Detection and Emission
Author: Edward Simon Barnard
Publisher: Stanford University
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Antennas are used across a wide range of frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum to concentrate wave energy into electronic circuits. The principles that govern the operation of conventional radio-frequency antennas can be extended to much higher frequencies and be applied to produce nano-metallic (i.e. plasmonic) antennas that act as "receivers" and "transmitters" for visible light. These traits make them excellent candidates for light trapping in solar cells, light concentration in sub-wavelength photodetectors, or even localized heating for cancer therapies. The unique optical properties of metals at visible frequencies make it difficult to apply traditional antenna design rules. Using full-field electromagnetic simulations and analytical antenna models, we developed new design rules for producing optical antennas with a desired set of optical properties. We then applied these design rules to create antennas that resonantly enhance absorption on thin silicon detectors as well as enhance emission of cathodoluminescence (CL). Through spatial and spectral mapping of both photocurrent and CL we clearly show the fundamental and higher-order resonant modes of these antennas. With CL we are also able to map the spatial distribution of these resonant modes with nanometer resolution. In addition to these specific demonstrated applications, the results of this work enable optical engineers to more easily design a myriad of plasmonic devices that employ optical antenna structures, including nanoscale photodetectors, light sources, sensors, and modulators.

Modern Lens Antennas for Communications Engineering
Author: John Thornton
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118345134
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The aim of this book is to present the modern design principles and analysis of lens antennas. It gives graduates and RF/Microwave professionals the design insights in order to make full use of lens antennas. Why do we want to write a book in lens antennas? Because this topic has not been thoroughly publicized, its importance is underestimated. As antennas play a key role in communication systems, recent development in wireless communications would indeed benefit from the characteristics of lens antennas: low profile, and low cost etc. The major advantages of lens antennas are narrow beamwidth, high gain, low sidelobes and low noise temperature. Their structures can be more compact and weigh less than horn antennas and parabolic antennas. Lens antennas with their quasi-optical characteristics, also have low loss, particularly at near millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths where they have particular advantages. This book systematically conducts advanced and up-to-date treatment of lens antennas.
