In this paper, we present the design of a spiral nano-antenna dedicated to infrared energy harvesting at 28.3 THz. A comprehensive, detailed parametric study of key parameters such as the initial angle at the origin arm , width of the spiral arms, gap between the two arms, thickness of substrate, length of substrate, thickness of patch and number of turns of the nano-antenna is also presented and discussed in order to harvest maximum electric field in the gap of the spiral antenna in the frequency range of 28 – 29 THz. The maximum electric field is simulated at 28.1, 28.3, 28.5 and 28.7 THz. A variation of the electric field of the antenna for different value of incident wave angle at the resonance frequency 28.3 THz has been simulated. The main advantages of the studied structure are its ability to reach high confined electric field within its gap, its wideband behavior around the operating frequency 28.3 THz, and its insensitivity to polarization of incident electromagnetic waves.
