The wavelength regime stipulated is visible light, so that would be an optics problem.

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

Nantennas are being worked on for direct conversion of light into electricity in lue of photovoltaic methods.
An issue which is being conquered is the complex interaction of light with ANY metal surface causing (plasmons) a sort-of plasma cloud which makes direct scaling of radio antenna theory not possible, but they're getting a handle on it. It's similiar to skin depth stuff which doesn't greatly impact RF antennas but does cause strange effects with regards to nano length optical antennas.
Here's a link to short paper on the subject:
antennas for light
Here's a paper. Look at page 444 for some cool optical antennas.(Don't worry its only a 37 page doc not hundreds of pages)

Wow, I appreciate a great resource you got there. Thank you.
I am looking a possibility,how I could relate the effects to fractal solar panel at iteration where dimensions nearing to or smaller than wavelength. What parameters could have been affected on the energy conversion of light to hv. Fortunately, I have now a supporting references for my hypothesis, thanks to you very much.
