RT Journal Article T1 Seebeck nanoantennas for the detection and characterization of infrared radiation A1 Briones, Edgar A1 Cuadrado, Alexander A1 Briones, Joel A1 Díaz de León, Ramón A1 Martínez Antón, Juan Carlos A1 McMurtry, Stefan A1 Hehn, Michel A1 Montaigne, François A1 Alda Serrano, Javier A1 González, Francisco Javier AB Arrays of metallic thermocouples in the shape of spiral nanoantennas are proposed as infrared detectors, which use the thermoelectric properties of the metallic interfaces to generate electrical DC signals. The responsivity of these types of antennas is evaluated from both theoretical and numerical perspectives pointing out its potential as infrared sensors. Moreover, the same structures can be used to characterize the state of polarization of the optical near fields with a spatial resolution comparable to the wavelength.
