Influence of insulator layer width on propagation properties of symmetric surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode, which is excited through a dipole embedded in SiO2 layer of Au/SiO2/Au structure in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide, has been investigated. The symmetric SPP mode has a propagation length along SiO2/Au interface that depends on SiO2 layer width. Its maximal value is 0.61 μm with SiO2 layer width of 100 nm. These values provide a theoretical reference for designing a high-performance SPP source using Au/SiO2/Au structure.

Nowadays, numerous devices to manipulate high frequencies for various applications are rapidly being investigated. Among them, nano-antennas for energy harvesting application at thermal radiation spectrum received most attention. A potential of versatile rectangular patch with perturbation slit tunnel that can collect electrical field energy is studied. The antenna performances are defined over field strength and current responses. The electrical field concentrated at the slit junction can be tuned by verifying the perturbation slit parameters. The electrical field amplitude of approximately 110 V/m is achieved with slit length of 1.0 µm. The field then can be guided out through the tunnel with some amplitude degradation in order to be integrated with metal-insulator-metal diode for energy conversion. The diode current obtained inside the insulator layer is compared with published results and it performs outstandingly. It was found that the proposed antenna exhibits promising performances that is suitable as an efficient energy harvesting device.
