Electrodynamic analysis of nanoantennas at millimeter and optical wavelength ranges

Abstract

Electrodynamics models and radiophysical properties of carbon nanotube-dipoles (isolated on the substrate lattices), metallic optical antennas and optical antennas, formed from ZnO nanorods coated with metal films were developed and investigated. The models are based on numerically analytical solution of integrodifferential equations describing the diffraction of electromagnetic waves on impedance and dielectric bodies. The use of integral representations of the kernels of integrodifferential equations allowed us to overcome the difficulties of solution, associated with the singularity of kernels and to reduce the computation time by an order of magnitude.
