Abstract
The Yagi-Uda silicon nanoantenna with the double driven element and 4 directors is
proposed here. The simulation of single Si nanoparticles with a diameter between 40 and 53 nm
shows an increasing of the directivities for all emitter locations. The trend of the directivity
appears to be random as the nanoparticle dimension and emitter distance increase. For the
double driven element, the directivity profiles as a function of the radius appears to be wave-
like forms. The directivity is clearly determined by two competing factors that are particle
coupling and dimension. The directivity of the Yagi-Uda Si nanoantenna can be improved with
more number of directors. The maximum directivity of the proposed structure with optimized
geometric parameters is 11.42. The preliminary numerical model for predicting the directivity
of this antenna is determined. The directivity can be further improved to 12.52 by reducing the
gap between the double driven element and the first director.
