Three?Dimensional Nanostructures for Photonics

چکیده
Recent progress in direct laser writing of three-dimensional (3D) polymer nanostructures for photonics is reviewed. This technology has reached a level of maturity at which it can be considered as the 3D analogue of planar electron-beam lithography. Combined with atomic-layer deposition and/or chemical-vapor deposition of dielectrics—the 3D analogues of planar evaporation technologies, the 3D polymer templates can be converted or inverted into 3D high-refractive-index-contrast nanostructures. Examples discussed in this review include positive and inverse 3D silicon-based woodpile photonic crystals possessing complete photonic bandgaps, novel optical resonator designs within these structures, 3D chiral photonic crystals otonic quasicrystals. The latter represent a particularly complex 3D nanostructure.

Direct patterning of three-dimensional periodic nanostructures by surface-plasmon-assisted nanolithography.
The technical applications of three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures demand a fabrication technique that is convenient and yet offers design flexibility. We describe here a nanofabrication technique called surface-plasmon-assisted three-dimensional nanolithography (3D-SPAN). By utilizing optical near-field interference patterns generated by surface plasmons (SPs), we have fabricated different 2D...
متن کاملFabricating three-dimensional nanostructures using two photon lithography in a single exposure step.
Conformable phase masks, transparent photopolymers and two photon effects provide the basis for a simple, parallel lithographic technique that can form complex, but well defined three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures in a single exposure step. This paper describes the method, presents examples of its ability to form 3D nanostructures (including freestanding particles with controlled shapes) and ...

متن کاملTriple-helical nanowires by tomographic rotatory growth for chiral photonics
Three dimensional helical chiral metamaterials resulted in effective manipulation of circularly polarized light in the visible infrared for advanced nanophotonics. Their potentialities are severely limited by the lack of full rotational symmetry preventing broadband operation, high signal-to-noise ratio and inducing high optical activity sensitivity to structure orientation. Complex intertwined...
