This document discusses nanoantennas and their applications. Nanoantennas are analogous to phenomena in metallic nanostructures called localized surface plasmon resonance where radiation energy is converted to localized energy. Nanoantennas have a wide range of applications including nanophotonics, plasmonic solar cells, metamaterials, chemical and biomedical sensing, on-chip interconnects, and more. However, nanoantennas require quantum mechanical treatment rather than classical treatment due to their small size. The author proposes ideas for improving nanoantenna efficiency including optimizing antenna elements, using coupling capacitance, graphene-based absorbing antennas, and circuit implementations.
