Abstract

Split bull's eye (SBE) antenna was developed to efficiently concentrate electromagnetic energy into an ultra-small area, and thereby enhanced the responsivity of high-speed near-infrared photodetectors. Here, we extend the investigation over a wider spectral range, and analyze the enhancement mechanisms based on finite-difference time-domain simulations. The SBE antenna exhibits far greater transmission enhancement than bull's eye antenna, especially at mid-infrared wavelengths, substantially due to the change in transmission mode from evanescent to propagating and also the induced Fabry-Perot resonances in the central slit. Our results illustrate the SBE antenna is a promising candidate for high-speed photodetection ranging from visible to mid-infrared.
