Electromagnetic coupling of optical dipole antennas

초록/요약

In this thesis, I investigate the electromagnetic interaction between optical antennas. Due to electromagnetic fields scattered from neighbored antenna, electromagnetic response of coupled antennas changes from that of a single antenna. Double slot antennas are discussed as coupled optical antennas. Double slot antennas have two modes with distinct optical properties. Modes of double slot antennas and interaction between antennas are interpreted through coupled oscillator model. The validity of the oscillator model is demonstrated by microwave experiment, analytic and numerical calculation. Especially, I investigate about dark mode, one mode of double slot antennas. To excite the dark mode under plane wave, phase of electric field is controlled by additional structure. Suggested structure controls ratio between two modes of double slot antennas by polarization state which result in control of radiation pattern. As an example of the application of optical antenna, optical force by slot antenna is discussed. Various manipulations are presented including optical trapping, using enhanced and localized electromagnetic fields. Lastly, periodic optical antenna array can be regarded as metamaterial when period is smaller than the wavelength. And optical properties of the metamaterial are characterized by an effective permittivity and effective permeability. The method of defining optical constants of a material is discussed from reflectance, transmittance, and the Kramers-Kronig relation.
