Abstract
Plasmonic nanoantennas are of interest because of their capability to enhance light-matter interactions. We present new results where antennas are used to obtain nanoscale devices with tunable characteristics. Applications of these devices include electrically controlled antennas, antennas integrated on silicon waveguides, and optical solar reflectors for spacecraft. By using tunable materials such as vanadium dioxide and doped-metal oxides, we demonstrate precise control and active tunability of the optical response. Experimental results are supported by combined electro-optical modelling at the nanoscale.
