NANO ANTENNAS FOR DATA TRANSFER 2
The article named “Nano Antennas for data transfer” was published in the Science
Daily News Paper on 8
th
January 2020. The article generally appreciated the progress which
physicists have made in converting electrical signals into photons which can be radiated in
specific directions by the use of a low-footprint antenna which is just eight hundred nanometers
in size. Directional antennas are used to convert electrical signals into radio waves and transmit
them in a certain direction, thus allowing improved performance and reduced noise
disturbances. To enable these antennas to these antennas to operate with the very short
wavelengths of visible light, they have been reduced into a nanometer scale.
This article shows how the law of optical antenna technology has been applied in these
Nanoantennas. An ac voltage source is applied, which causes electrons in the metal to vibrate
and flow. The radiation does not occur evenly in all directions but rather through the selective
superposition aided by the use of special elements called reflectors and directors. As a result,
the antennas radiate electromagnetic waves can be either transmitted in constructive
interference in one direction or destructive interference in all other directions. However, the
accuracy of these antennas depends on the number of directions the waves are transmitted. The
directional accuracy of the light emission of the new optical antenna is determined by the
number of antenna elements. The antenna can accordingly be used to receive light from the
same direction if it is configured to operate as a receiver.
The directional accuracy enabled the construction of the world’s smallest electrically
powered light source which has the ability of emitting light in a certain direction. This shows
that the less the number of directions, the more accurate the Nanoantennas can be. However,
there is still more work that needs to be done before the newly invented Nanoantennas are
brought into practice. There is the need to work on the counterpart which receives the light
signal and also works on how to boost the signals to be more effective and stable. The question
is how the Nanoantennas will be powered having in mind that they are Nanometers in size.
