Abstract

A double-sided rhombic nanoantenna for infrared (IR) detection in frequency band from 10 to 60 THz is proposed. The nanoantenna consists of square aperture etched within a gold metal plate with rhombic patch placed inside the aperture. A parametric study on the nanoantenna dimensions has been carried out for maximum electric field at f = 28 THz. Different types of metals are used for nanoantenna as silver, gold, or copper. The radiation characteristics of the proposed IR antenna have been investigated. The effect of the polarization of the plane wave, linear, left-hand and right-hand circular polarizations on the received IR energy detector is investigated. A duplication of gold metal plate with rhombic patch placed inside the aperture on the back side of the substrate is used to improve the electric field of the nanoantenna. Metal connector between the receiving gaps on the top and bottom of the substrate is introduced to maximize the IR energy detection. The IR detector is designed, optimized and analyzed using the finite integration technique.
