Abstract :
We present a novel structure composed of an ensemble of electrically small resonators for harvesting infrared energy. A flower-like structure composed of electrically small split-ring resonators, each of whose greatest length is less than λ/21, is proven to achieve more than 85% power harvesting efficiency at 0.348 THz.
