Agora “March”
from Jeff:
For the month of March I was hoping we could discuss the emerging field of Antenna technology applied to optical frequencies. I found this review paper by Bharadwaj et. al. which I’d suggest you start reading. It’s rather long so if you get 1/3 way through it that’s fine. Or if you understand the first 8 or 10 equations you can just stop there and explain them to me 😉
Also, if you have been involved in this field or done any reading on it, I’m particularly interested in your input. Personally I have a good background in classical antenna theory, but no background in quantum mechanics, so parts of this paper went over my head. But hopefully we can concentrate more on qualitative descriptions and applications.
I had a lot of trouble downloading this paper, you can find in the Scratch (the previous link has been removed)
See you all Wednesday at 12:30 (or 13:00 if you want to miss lunch 😉
