text: Silicon photonics, in conjunction with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
(CMOS) fabrication, has greatly enhanced the development of integrated optical
phased arrays. This facilitates a dynamic control of light in a compact form factor
that enables the synthesis of arbitrary complex wavefronts in the infrared spectrum.
We numerically demonstrate a large-scale two-dimensional silicon-based optical
phased array (OPA) composed of nanoantennas with circular gratings that are balanced
in power and aligned in phase, required for producing elegant radiation patterns
in the far-field. For a wavelength of 1.55 μm, we optimize two antennas for the
OPA exhibiting an upward radiation efficiency as high as 90%, with almost 6.8%
of optical power concentrated in the field of view. Additionally, we believe that
the proposed OPAs can be easily fabricated and would have the ability to generate
complex holographic images, rendering them an attractive candidate for a wide
range of applications like LiDAR sensors, optical trapping, optogenetic stimulation,
and augmented-reality displays.

text: We demonstrate the numerical and experimental realization of optimized optical
traveling-wave antennas made of low-loss dielectric materials. These antennas
exhibit highly directive radiation patterns and our studies reveal that this nature
comes from two dominant guided TE modes excited in the waveguide-like director
of the antenna, in addition to the leaky modes. The optimized antennas possess
a broadband nature and have a nearunity radiation efficiency at an operational
wavelength of 780 nm. Compared to the previously studied plasmonic antennas for
photon emission, our all-dielectric approach demonstrates a new class of highly
directional, low-loss, and broadband optical antennas.

text: Highly directive antennas with the ability of shaping radiation patterns in
desired directions are essential for efficient on-chip optical communication with
reduced cross talk. In this paper, we design and optimize three distinct broadband
traveling-wave tantalum pentoxide antennas exhibiting highly directional characteristics.
Our antennas contain a director and reflector deposited on a glass substrate,
which are excited by a dipole emitter placed in the feed gap between the two elements.
Full-wave simulations in conjunction with global optimization provide structures
with an enhanced linear directivity as high as 119 radiating in the substrate.
The high directivity is a result of the interplay between two dominant TE modes
and the leaky modes present in the antenna director. Furthermore, these low-loss
dielectric antennas exhibit a near-unity radiation efficiency at the operational
wavelength of 780 nm and maintain a broad bandwidth. Our numerical results are
in good agreement with experimental measurements from the optimized antennas fabricated
using a two-step electron-beam lithography, revealing the highly directive nature
of our structures. We envision that our antenna designs can be conveniently adapted
to other dielectric materials and prove instrumental for inter-chip optical communications
and other on-chip applications.

text: Optical traveling wave antennas offer unique opportunities to control and
selectively guide light into a specific direction, which renders them excellent
candidates for optical communication and sensing. These applications require state-of-the-art
engineering to reach optimized functionalities such as high directivity and radiation
efficiency, low sidelobe levels, broadband and tunable capabilities, and compact
design. In this work, we report on the numerical optimization of the directivity
of optical traveling wave antennas made from low-loss dielectric materials using
full-wave numerical simulations in conjunction with the particle swarm optimization
algorithm. The antennas are composed of a reflector and a director deposited on
a glass substrate, and an emitter placed in the feed gap between them serves as
an internal source of excitation. In particular, we analyze antennas with rectangular-
and horn-shaped directors made of either hafnium dioxide or silicon. The optimized
antennas produce highly directional emissions due to the presence of two dominant
guided TE modes in the director in addition to leaky modes. These guided modes
dominate the far-field emission pattern and govern the direction of the main lobe
emission, which predominately originates from the end facet of the director. Our
work also provides a comprehensive analysis of the modes, radiation patterns,
parametric influences, and bandwidths of the antennas, which highlights their
robust nature.

text: We present a combined experimental and numerical study of the far-field emission
properties of optical travelling wave antennas made from low-loss dielectric materials.
The antennas considered here are composed of two simple building blocks, a director
and a reflector, deposited on a glass substrate. Colloidal quantum dots placed
in the feed gap between the two elements serve as internal light source. The emission
profile of the antenna is mainly formed by the director while the reflector suppresses
backward emission. Systematic studies of the director dimensions as well as variation
of antenna material show that the effective refractive index of the director primarily
governs the far-field emission pattern. Below cut off, i.e., if the director’s
effective refractive index is smaller than the refractive index of the substrate,
the main lobe results from leaky wave emission along the director. In contrast,
if the director supports a guided mode, the emission predominately originates
from the end facet of the director.

text: "Optical and infrared antennas provide a promising way to couple photons in
and out of nanoscale structures. As\r\ncounterpart to conventional radio antennas,
they are able to increase optical felds in sub-wavelength volumes,\r\nto enhance
excitation and emission of quantum emitters or to direct light, radiated by quantum
emitters. The\r\ndirected emission of these antennas has been mainly pursued by
surface plasmon based devices, e.g. Yagi-Uda\r\nlike antennas, which are rather
complicated due to the coupling of several metallic particles. Also, like all
metallic\r\nstructures in optical or infrared regime, these devices are very sensitive
to fabrication tolerances and are affected\r\nby strong losses. It has been shown
recently, that such directed emission can be accomplished by dielectric\r\nmaterials
as well.\r\nIn this paper we present an optimization of nanoscopic antennas in
the near infrared regime starting from a\r\nmetallic Yagi-Uda structure. The optimization
is done via a particle-swarm algorithm, using full time domain\r\nfinite integration
simulations to obtain the characteristics of the investigated structure, also
taking into account\r\nsubstrates. Furthermore we present a dielectric antenna,
which performs even better, due to the lack of losses\r\nby an appropriate choice
of the dielectric material. These antennas are robust concerning fabrication tolerances\r\nand
can be realized with different materials for both the antenna and the substrate,
without using high index\r\nmaterials."
