DESCRIPTION:Prof. Amir Boag\, Tel Aviv University\nBio: Amir Boag is a Pro
 fessor of Electrical Engineering at Tel Aviv University. His interests are
  in computational electromagnetics and acoustics\, imaging\, and design of
  antennas and optical devices.  He has published over 90 journal articles
  and presented more than 180 conference papers on electromagnetics and aco
 ustics.  In 2008\, Amir was named a Fellow of the IEEE for his contributi
 ons to integral equation based analysis\, design\, and imaging techniques.
 \nDual-Vivaldi nano-antenna arrays were designed\, fabricated\, and optica
 lly characterized in the infrared (IR) and visible regimes.  The antenna 
 arrays were characterized by measuring the scattered light at IR and visib
 le spectral ranges.  A novel technique for antenna and load impedance mea
 surements using scattering data has been developed.  The radiation effici
 ency and the spectral response of the antennas were found to be in good ag
 reement with numerical simulations.  The results presented here demonstra
 te the extremely wideband nature of the Dual-Vivaldi nano-antennas and the
  strong impact of load at the antenna terminals on its scattering response
 .  These properties\, as well as their many degrees of freedom for design
 \, render the Dual-Vivaldi nano-antennas excellent candidates for optical 
 sensing applications and energy harvesting.  Various applications of nano
 -antennas will be discussed.
