Multi-wavelength mid-infrared plasmonic antennas with single nanoscale focal point.
We propose and demonstrate a novel photonic-plasmonic antenna capable of confining electromagnetic radiation at several mid-infrared wavelengths to a single sub-wavelength spot. The structure relies on the coupling between the localized surface plasmon resonance of a bow-tie nanoantenna with the photonic modes of surrounding multi-periodic particle arrays. Far-field measurements of the transmis...
متن کاملOptical Activation of Germanium Plasmonic Antennas in the Mid-Infrared.
Impulsive interband excitation with femtosecond near-infrared pulses establishes a plasma response in intrinsic germanium structures fabricated on a silicon substrate. This direct approach activates the plasmonic resonance of the Ge structures and enables their use as optical antennas up to the mid-infrared spectral range. The optical switching lasts for hundreds of picoseconds until charge rec...
متن کاملWireless communication system via nanoscale plasmonic antennas
Present on-chip optical communication technology uses near-infrared light, but visible wavelengths would allow system miniaturization and higher energy confinement. Towards this end, we report a nanoscale wireless communication system that operates at visible wavelengths via in-plane information transmission. Here, plasmonic antenna radiation mediates a three-step conversion process (surface pl...
متن کاملFabrication of mid-infrared plasmonic antennas based on heavily doped germanium thin films
In this work, the growth and the fabrication of heavily doped germanium plasmonic antennas for mid-infrared applications is reported. By tuning the phosphorus doping concentration and the antenna geometrical parameters, plasma frequencies for targeting the 8-15 μm spectral region are achieved. 1 μm thick, heavily doped (2.3 × 10 cm ) germanium was used to fabricate dipole antennas of 800 nm wid...
متن کاملVoltage-controlled active mid-infrared plasmonic devices
We demonstrate active voltage-controlled spectral tuning of mid-infrared plasmonic structures. Extraordinary optical transmission gratings were fabricated on n-doped GaAs epilayers with a HfO2 gate dielectric between the grating and the doped semiconductor. The permittivity of the GaAs was tuned by depleting charge carriers below the top grating gate upon the application of a reverse bias to th...
