Transmitting hertzian optical nanoantenna with free-electron feed.
A pair of coupled gold nanorods excited by a beam of free electrons acts as a transmitting Hertzian antenna in the optical part of the spectrum. Significantly enhanced resonant emission is observed from the antenna when the electron beam is injected around the junction between the rods, where the local density of electromagnetic states is elevated.
متن کاملHertzian plasmonic nanodimer as an efficient optical nanoantenna
Inspired by the geometry and shape of the classical radio-frequency radiator, the Hertzian dipole, here we analyze the design of a plasmonic optical dimer nanoantenna. We show how it may be possible to operate a pair of closely spaced spherical nanoparticles as an efficient optical nanoradiator, and how its tuning and matching properties may be tailored with great degree of freedom by designing...
متن کاملOptical Nanoantenna Input Impedance
Optical nanoantennas have been studied as a means to manipulate nanoscale fields, local field enhancements, radiative rates, and emissive directional control. However, a fundamental function of antennas, the transfer of power between a coupled load and far-field radiation, has seen limited development in optical antennas owing largely to the inherent challenges of extracting impedance parameter...
متن کاملOptical methods for studying hertzian resonances.
During my first year of studies at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, our teacher, Eugène Bloch, introduced us to quantum physics, which at that time was little taught in France. Like he, I was of Alsatian extraction and knew German. He strongly advised me to read Sommerfeld’s admirable book Atombau und Spektrallinien . In the course of this reading, I became particularly interested in the ...
متن کاملOptical emission of a molecular nanoantenna pair.
The optical emission from a pair of nanoantennas is investigated within the theoretical framework of quantum electrodynamics. The analysis of fluorescent emission from a pair of molecular antenna species in close proximity is prompted by experimental work on oriented semiconductor polymer nanostructures. Each physically different possibility for separation-dependent features in photon emission ...
