Carbon nanotubes have been shown to exhibit light antenna behavior, such as polarization and length dependence, and enhancement of incident electromagnetic radiation at resonance. We study and model resonance effects from planar metallic nanoantennas, as a function of nanoantenna dimensions and material properties. We discuss the challenges of designing a two-dimensional nanoantenna array with resonance in the short wavelength (blue-green) region of the visible spectrum, constructed from different materials and in different environments. |
