Optomechanical nanoantenna

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We introduce optomechanical nanoantennae, which show dramatic changes in scattering properties by minuscule changes in geometry. These structures are very compact, with a volume 500 times smaller than free-space optical wavelength volume. This deep subwavelength geometry leads to high speed and low switching power. The bandwidth of the device is about 4.4 GHz, with a switching energy of only 35 pJ. Such antenna structures could lead to compact and high-speed all-optical nanoswitches.
