The proposed detector combines the Seebeck effect, as a transduction mechanism, with the functionalities of the optical antennas for optical sensing. By using finite-element numerical simulations we evaluate the performance and optical-to-electrical conversion efficiency of the proposed device, unveiling its potential for optical sensing and energy harvesting applicationsengjournal articlehttp://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1412/1412.2658.pdfopen access535.24Seebeck nanoantennasInfrared detectorsenergy harvestingDetectores de infrarrojoNanoantenasÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
