“…Along with the single resonant wavelength antenna, different dual feeding structures have been developed for dual band imaging at both IR and millimeter-wave (MMW) frequencies. For instance, IR slot and MMW twin slot antennas have been integrated through a coplanar waveguide (CPW) as shown in Figure 6 a [ 48 ]. The measured

at the IR band has been reported for a similar dual band structure of IR dipole and MMW slot antennas [ 21 , 49 ].…”

Since the 1940s, infrared (IR) detection and imaging at wavelengths in the two atmospheric windows of 3 to 5 and 8 to 14 μm has been extensively researched. Through several generations, these detectors have undergone considerable developments and have found use in various applications in different fields including military, space science, medicine and engineering. For the most recently proposed generation, these detectors are required to achieve high-speed detection with spectral and polarization selectivity while operating at room temperature. Antenna coupled IR detectors appear to be the most promising candidate to achieve these requirements and has received substantial attention from research in recent years. This paper sets out to present a review of the antenna coupled IR detector family, to explore the main concepts behind the detectors as well as outline their critical and challenging design considerations. In this context, the design of both elements, the antenna and the sensor, will be presented individually followed by the challenging techniques in the impedance matching between both elements. Some hands-on fabrication techniques will then be explored. Finally, a discussion on the coupled IR detector is presented with the aim of providing some useful insights into promising future work.

“…However, the RF antennas are driven locally at the feed gap, while the far-field was used to drive the initial optical antennas. For detection in the infrared regime, antenna-mediated transduction has been investigated, for instance, a slot antenna [ 56 ] or a dipole antenna ( Figure 3 ) [ 57 ]. Conversely, a huge number of enhanced RF antennas are needed to investigate in the optical regime.…”

“…This type of infrared whisker diodes are able to deliver a pathway to Rx antennas [ 18 ]. The main difficulty in infrared whisker diodes is the metal-oxide-metal junction’s capacitance-dependent high frequency cut off [ 56 ]. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy can decay radiatively according to the stimulation of surface plasmons by electrons [ 75 , 76 ].…”

The concept of optical antennas in physical optics is still evolving. Like the antennas used in the radio frequency (RF) regime, the aspiration of optical antennas is to localize the free propagating radiation energy, and vice versa. For this purpose, optical antennas utilize the distinctive properties of metal nanostructures, which are strong plasmonic coupling elements at the optical regime. The concept of optical antennas is being advanced technologically and they are projected to be substitute devices for detection in the millimeter, infrared, and visible regimes. At present, their potential benefits in light detection, which include polarization dependency, tunability, and quick response times have been successfully demonstrated. Optical antennas also can be seen as directionally responsive elements for point detectors. This review provides an overview of the historical background of the topic, along with the basic concepts and parameters of optical antennas. One of the major parts of this review covers the use of optical antennas in biosensing, presenting biosensing applications with a broad description using different types of data. We have also mentioned the basic challenges in the path of the universal use of optical biosensors, where we have also discussed some legal matters.

“…Antennas are typically coupled to MIM diodes in order to collect the incident electromagnetic radiation and couple it to the diode junction. Antenna-coupled MIM diodes have been widely investigated for millimetre-wave [2,3] and infrared detection [2,[4][5][6][7][8]. This considerable interest is encouraged by several advantages of the structure such as fast response detection, easy fabrication, low power consumption, and uncooled operation [5].…”
