1. A dipole antenna for providing light, the dipole antenna comprising:
two sides, each of the two sides comprising:
a substrate having at least two domains;
a light source connected to the domains; and
a capacitor coupled to the at least two domains and configured to provide a path for radio frequency (RF) current to bypass the light source; and
a RF choke electrically coupled to the two sides;
wherein the light source emits light when a current flows from one domain to another domain.
