    Abstract:
    In order to provide a guide for the design and optimization of bowtie slot antennas in the visible and near infrared spectral regime, their optical properties have been investigated with emphasis on geometry and materials. Although primarily theoretical, experimental investigations for reduced thickness cases are also included. As characterized by their field patterns, two types of resonances are discussed: plasmonic and Fabry-Pérot-like resonances. These resonance types show a linear dependence on aperture perimeter and film thickness, respectively, while showing a complementary behavior with near independence of the other respective parameter. Metal properties, as in the Drude model, are also considered. Various metals with respectively different skin depths are studied, showing a nearly linear dependence of the resonance wavelength on skin depth.
