Impedance Conjugate Matching of Plasmonic Nanoantenna in Optical Nanocircuits
Publication: Research - peer-review › Article in proceedings – Annual report year: 2011
Optical antennas are a state-of-the-art concept in modern
plasmonics. Nanoantennas can be advantageously used to localize,
enhance and detect radiation in nanoscale volumes. These abilities
unlock an enormous potential applications ranging from
optoelectronics engineering and integrated optical nanocircuitry to
nanoscale optical microscopy and ultra-sensing. The coupling
efficiency between nanoantenna and other elements in integrated
optical nanocircuit strongly depends on its properties where the
impedance matching plays a crucial role. We investigate the
dependence of impedance of the T-shaped optical nanoantenna on
its geometrical parameters. We show that several parameters – an
arm length of the T-shaped nanoantenna, nanoantenna width and a
width of the front facet of the connector – can influence on the
impedance conjugate matching which gives flexibility in
impedance tuning for coupling of antenna to the nano-waveguides.
