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.
