研究目的
To demonstrate a systematic optimization approach for nano-antennas based on characteristic mode analysis (CMA) to enhance the near-field intensity of a plasmonic nano-antenna.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that CMA can be used to optimize the NFIE response by identifying the modes that contribute to each near-field resonance and by showing the current distribution of each mode for nano-antennas with different materials. The proposed CMA-based optimization method can be adapted easily for many other nano-antenna applications, facilitating the development of improved nano-structures.
研究不足
The study is limited by the minimum voxel size and fabrication tolerances, which restrict the minimum feature size of the nano-antennas. Additionally, the optimization process is computationally expensive.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses CMA to identify the dominant modes of the structure at the frequency of interest and explains the dependency of the modes on the structure’s shape, size and material properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A complex geometry, designated as split-ring two-wire antenna (SRA), is selected and optimized using the CMA technique.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study involves the use of gold and silver for the nano-antennas, with their complex permittivity profiles obtained from experimentally-measured optical constants.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The optimization process involves varying the shape of the nano-antenna computationally and iteratively until it meets the goal within a certain threshold, using CMA as the decision-making tool.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The study compares the NFIE response obtained from different electromagnetic solvers (FEKO and CST) and uses CMA to analyze the results.
