Abstract :
In this work we present the optimized design of a wireless link at optical frequencies using matched directive nanoantennas. We will show how the use of directive nanoantennas clearly enhances the capability of the link, outperforming non-directive nanoantennas and regular plasmonic waveguide connects.
