Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A THz frequency range antenna is provided which comprises: a semiconductor film ( 3 ) having a surface adapted to exhibit surface plasmons in the THz frequency range. The surface of the semiconductor film ( 3 ) is structured with an antenna structure ( 4 ) arranged to support localized surface plasmon resonances in the THz frequency range.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A THz frequency range antenna comprising: a semiconductor film having a surface adapted to exhibit surface plasmons in the THz frequency range, wherein the surface of the semiconductor film is structured to form an antenna structure arranged to support localized surface plasmon resonances in the THz frequency range, the antenna structure having a gap (g) which is controlled for varying at least one dimension thereof. 2. Th…
