Enhanced directional excitation and emission of single emitters by a nano-optical Yagi-Uda antenna.
We demonstrate by 3D numerical calculations that the interaction of a single quantum emitter with the electromagnetic field is both enhanced and directed by a nano-optical Yagi-Uda antenna. The single emitter is coupled in the near field to the resonant plasmon mode of the feed element, enhancing both excitation and emission rates. The angular emission of the coupled system is highly directed a...
متن کاملAngular 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 کاملActively tunable bistable optical Yagi-Uda nanoantenna.
We propose and theoretically demonstrate a novel type of optical Yagi-Uda nanoantennas tunable via variation of the free-carrier density of a semiconductor disk placed in a gap of a metallic dipole feeding element. Unlike its narrowband all-metal counterparts, this nanoantenna exhibits a broadband unidirectional emission and demonstrates a bistable response in a preferential direction of the fa...
متن کاملMicrostrip Yagi-Uda Antenna for 2.45 GHz RFID Handheld Reader
This paper proposes a compact microstrip Yagi-Uda antenna for 2.45 GHz radio frequency identification (RFID) handheld reader applications. The proposed antenna is etched on a piece of FR4 substrate with an overall size of 65 mm × 55 mm ×1.6 mm and consists of a microstrip balun, a dipole, and a director. The ground plane is designed to act as a reflector that contributes to enhancing the antenn...
متن کاملYagi-Uda Antenna for Navigational Aids Using HFSS
In this paper, the ultra high frequency of yagi-uda antenna for navigational has been designed to improve the usable bandwidth by improving the stability of the radiation patterns. The frequency band of ultra high frequency is 300-3000 MHZ.
