There are two avenues you can look at. First, micro sized antennas that receive optical frequencies. Second, a RF antenna that modulates a signal in an optical fiber for remoting the antenna far from electronics or a power source.

There are commercial modules to convert RF signals to optical fiber signal, and reverse. Such modules can transmit wideband signals like several GHz, so microstrip antennas may not be the optimum application.
