Abstract
Nano optical antennas have received a considerable attention in the interconnection electronic chips applications. In this paper, several investigations based on a semi-classical electromagnetic-quantum theory are performed to realize the possibility of using the armchair Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) based monopole antennas for the interconnection between electronic chips in the optical regime. Two different SWCNT indices of (10,10) and (21,21) are conducted in this study for justification and compared against their identical monopoles based on Copper Nano-Rods (CNR). The material properties of the proposed nano-structures are retrieved from a quantum model to evaluate the proposed antennas performance. The proposed antennas based SWCNT10,10 and SWCNT21,21 are found to have the first resonance at 530 THz and 450 THz, respectively. Nevertheless, the antennas performances that are constructed from CNR compared to the relative ones based SWCNT. It is found that the CNR antennas provide a radiation efficiency (ղr) less than the provided by SWCNT antenna. Therefore, it is found that the antennas based SWCNT more suitable for wireless interconnections.
