Optical Rectification and Thermal Currents in Optical Tunneling Gap Antennas
M. M. Mennementeuil, M. Buret, G. Colas des Francs +1
Electrically-contacted optical gap antennas are nanoscale interface devices enabling the transduction between photons and electrons. This new generation of devices captures visible…
Effect of quantized conductivity on the anomalous photon emission radiated from atomic-size point contacts
Mickaël Buret, Igor V. Smetanin, Alexander V. Uskov +2
We observe anomalous visible to near-infrared electromagnetic radiation emitted from electrically driven atomic-size point contacts. We show that the number of photons released str…
Biased Nanoscale Contact as Active Element for Electrically Driven Plasmonic Nanoantenna
Alexander V. Uskov, Jacob B. Khurgin, Mickael Buret +3
Electrically-driven optical antennas can serve as compact sources of electromagnetic radiation operating at optical frequencies. In the most widely explored configurations, the rad…
