Abstract
Abstract This article provides an overview of plasmonic nano-antennas for photonic applications. This paper delves into the theoretical analysis of nano/optical antennas, including optical antenna impedance, near and far field characteristics, and directivity. The materials used for manufacturing optical antennas are discussed in the context of terahertz communication. The comparative analysis of different types of fabrication techniques on the nanoscale is presented as a requirement for the implementation of nano-antennas. The testing mechanism of the nano-antenna using microscopy techniques is also presented. A detailed review of the different shapes of the nano-antennas that are used for applications in the field of photonics is discussed. According to this review article, graphene, gold, and silver are the most promising materials. It is also noticed that pen-dip and direct growth are fast and inexpensive techniques for nano-antenna fabrication.
期刊介绍：
This is the journal for all scientists working in optical communications. Journal of Optical Communications was the first international publication covering all fields of optical communications with guided waves. It is the aim of the journal to serve all scientists engaged in optical communications as a comprehensive journal tailored to their needs and as a forum for their publications. The journal focuses on the main fields in optical communications
