Metal-coated nanocylinder cavity for broadband nonclassical light emission.
A novel metal-coated nanocylinder-cavity architecture fully compatible with III-V GaInAs technology and benefiting from a broad spectral range enhancement of the local density of states is proposed as an integrated source of nonclassical light. Because of a judicious selection of the mode volume, the cavity combines good collection efficiency (≈45%), large Purcell factors (≈15) over a 80 nm spe...
متن کاملUltra-thin broadband nanostructured insulator-metal-insulator-metal plasmonic light absorber.
An ultra-thin nanostructured plasmonic light absorber with an insulator-metal-insulator-metal (IMIM) architecture is designed and numerically studied. The IMIM structure is capable to absorb up to about 82.5% of visible light in a broad wavelength range of 300-750 nm. The absorption by the bottom metal is only 6% of that of the top metal. The results show that the IMIM architecture has weak dep...
متن کاملWetting properties on nanostructured surfaces of cicada wings.
This study has investigated the wettability of forewings of 15 species of cicadas, with distinctly different wetting properties related to their nanostructures. The wing surfaces exhibited hydrophilic or weak to strong hydrophobic properties with contact angles ranging from 76.8 deg. to 146.0 deg. The nanostructures (protrusions), observed using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM)...
متن کاملRapid-Response Low Infrared Emission Broadband Ultrathin Plasmonic Light Absorber
Plasmonic nanostructures can significantly advance broadband visible-light absorption, with absorber thicknesses in the sub-wavelength regime, much thinner than conventional broadband coatings. Such absorbers have inherently very small heat capacity, hence a very rapid response time, and high light power-to-temperature sensitivity. Additionally, their surface emissivity can be spectrally tuned ...
متن کاملMetasurface Broadband Solar Absorber
We demonstrate a broadband, polarization independent, wide-angle absorber based on a metallic metasurface architecture, which accomplishes greater than 90% absorptance in the visible and near-infrared range of the solar spectrum, and exhibits low absorptivity (emissivity) at mid- and far-infrared wavelengths. The complex unit cell of the metasurface solar absorber consists of eight pairs of gol...
