Abstract.  In this paper a different nano material i.e. nickel-aluminium(Ni-Al) alloy is presented for optical communication. Generally gold and silver as nanoparticale are used for optical antenna due to their optical properties, but they seem to be more costly than these materials and limits the use of optical antennas for general purpose. Optical antennas are the new advent of technology, which makes the antennas to operate at optical frequency and makes the optical communication possible at nanoscale, which was limited to micro scale. Hence, optical antennas will bring a revolutionary change in technology.

Keywords: optical antennas, nanoscale, communication.
