An antenna can be used to emit light frequencies
Nanoantennas and optical antennas can be engineered to control, route, and emit light frequencies such as photoluminescence and near-infrared radiation.
The claim is specific, empirical, and well-supported by multiple retrieved papers on plasmonic nanoantennas used for manipulating and generating light emission (photoluminescence and chiroptical photon sources) at optical frequencies.
