GOLD PLASMONIC ARRAY STRUCTURES FOR SENSING APPLICATIONS

This article is devoted to the theoretical study of the plasmonic properties of periodically arranged arrays of gold nanoparticles. The Comsol Multiphysics software, which is based on the finite element method, was used to build 3D numerical models for the simulation and conduct research. In this work the electric field distribution and optical characteristics of the spherical gold nanoparticles array were studied.

Rectillinear arrays and their combined radiation patterns

A disadvantage of simple antenna is they do not always perform to specified requirements, such as the required width of the main lobe of radiation pattern (RP). In response, we often utilize straight array (SA) containing N emitters; each of which is employed as a simple antenna. The distance ‘d’ and the current phase difference ‘h’ between adjacent emitters are permanent.  Requirements to insure SA are given depending on F (θ) – normalized RP multiplier of SA to the angle θ of spherical coordinate systems.
