Optical antennas as nanoscale resonators.
Recent progress in nanotechnology has enabled us to fabricate sub-wavelength architectures that function as antennas for improving the exchange of optical energy with nanoscale matter. We describe the main features of optical antennas for enhancing quantum emitters and review the designs that increase the spontaneous emission rate by orders of magnitude from the ultraviolet up to the near-infra...
متن کاملTunable graphene antennas for selective enhancement of THz-emission.
In this paper, we will introduce THz graphene antennas that strongly enhance the emission rate of quantum systems at specific frequencies. The tunability of these antennas can be used to selectively enhance individual spectral features. We will show as an example that any weak transition in the spectrum of coronene can become the dominant contribution. This selective and tunable enhancement est...
متن کاملNanosecond Tunable Optical Delay using Silicon Cavities
We present a tunable delay element that is inherently insensitive to free-carrier loss and achieves up to nanosecond delays even when tuned slowly. This will enable electrically tunable buffers on a silicon chip. ©2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices ; (230.5750) Resonators ;(230.2090) Electro-optical devices
متن کاملSub-wavelength terahertz beam profiling of a THz source via an all-optical knife-edge technique
Terahertz technologies recently emerged as outstanding candidates for a variety of applications in such sectors as security, biomedical, pharmaceutical, aero spatial, etc. Imaging the terahertz field, however, still remains a challenge, particularly when sub-wavelength resolutions are involved. Here we demonstrate an all-optical technique for the terahertz near-field imaging directly at the sou...
متن کاملEffective wavelength scaling for optical antennas.
In antenna theory, antenna parameters are directly related to the wavelength lambda of incident radiation, but this scaling fails at optical frequencies where metals behave as strongly coupled plasmas. In this Letter we show that antenna designs can be transferred to the optical frequency regime by replacing lambda by a linearly scaled effective wavelength lambda(eff)=n(1)+n(2)lambda/lambda(p),...
