Repetitive Hole-Mask Colloidal Lithography for the Fabrication of Large-Area Low-Cost Plasmonic Multishape Single-Layer Metasurfaces
Nanostructuring for tailored optical functionality suffers from a lack of methods for large-area and low-cost fabrication. While electron beam lithography allows different complex shapes to be deposited onto the same substrate layer, the writing process is sequential and the fabrication is very expensive. Large-area methods, such as nanosphere lithography, [ 1 ] colloidal lithography using shad...
متن کاملPhotonic-plasmonic-coupled nanoantennas for polarization-controlled multispectral nanofocusing.
We report on the design and experimental demonstration of array-enhanced nanoantennas for polarization-controlled multispectral nanofocusing in the near-IR spectral range. We design plasmonic double bow-tie nanoantennas-coupled to multiple-periodic nanoparticle arrays to harvest radiation of designed wavelengths from a large spatial area and to focus it into a targeted nanoscale region. Near-fi...
متن کاملDeterministic radiative coupling between plasmonic nanoantennas and semiconducting nanowire quantum dots.
We report on the deterministic coupling between single semiconducting nanowire quantum dots emitting in visible and plasmonic Au nanoantennas. Both systems are separately and carefully characterized through micro-photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence. A two-step realignment process using cathodoluminescence allows for electron-beam lithography of Au antennas near individual nanowire quantum...
متن کاملPeriodic Arrays of Film-Coupled Cubic Nanoantennas as Tunable Plasmonic Metasurfaces
We show theoretically that a two-dimensional periodic array of metallic nanocubes in close proximity to a metallic film acts as a metasurface with tunable absorbance. The presence of a metallic film underneath the array of plasmonic nanocubes leads to an impedance matched plasmonic metasurface enhancing up to 4 times the absorbance of incident radiation, in the spectral region below 500 nm. The...
متن کاملLinear and nonlinear optical properties of hybrid metallic–dielectric plasmonic nanoantennas
We study the linear and nonlinear optical properties of hybrid metallic-dielectric plasmonic gap nanoantennas. Using a two-step-aligned electron beam lithography process, we demonstrate the ability to selectively and reproducibly fill the gap region of nanoantennas with dielectric nanoparticles made of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) with high efficiency. The linear optical properties of the antennas ...
