Abstract
Submicron antenna-coupled diodes, called optical rectennas, can directly rectify solar and thermal electromagnetic radiation, and function as detectors and power harvesting devices. The physics of a diode interacting with electromagnetic radiation at optical frequencies is not fully captured in its DC characteristics. We describe the operating principle of rectenna solar cells using a quantum approach and analyze the requirements for efficient rectification.
