Abstract :
We describe here the possibility to realize ultralow profile nanoantenna reflectors, which may manipulate optical radiation and emission due to their plasmonic interaction with light. Classic concepts at microwave frequencies, such as reflectarray and holographic antennas are applied here to plasmonic materials, with the goal to achieve a large degree of flexibility and tunability for low-profile reflectors, with potential applications in nano-photonics and optical communications.
