Particle-based Nano-Antennas at the Vis-NIR regime
Abstract
This is the final report for a grant covering research across a broad domain of metamaterial-based antenna research at the visible and near-infrared range (600nm to 2000nm), culminating in 38 peer-reviewed papers. The research covers elements of metamaterial-based antennas and antenna arrays in semiconductor devices, attempting to understand geometric effects of the unit cell on metamaterial performance and then translating this knowledge into design principles. The metamaterial-based antenna research is divided into five broad sub-areas: resonance tuning for concave antennas, capacitive versus conductive coupling, on-demand design (termed 'popcorn' antennas), broadband plasmonic metamaterials, and light focusing/energy harvesting by plasmonic antennas. The research on antenna arrays is divided into enhancement of organic solar cells by antenna arrays, applications of antenna arrays to speed LED response, current injection using antenna metamaterials, and the implementation of an enhanced short-wave infrared (SWIR) quantum cascade detector.
