Materials Chemistry in 3D Templates for Functional Photonics
نویسنده
چکیده
This Perspective overviews many of the developments in templated porous three-dimensional photonics, with a particular focus on functional architectures, and provides suggestions for future opportunities for research. A significant diversity of 3D structures is available today with characteristic dimensions appropriate for providing strong light−matter interactions, in no small part due to recent advances in 3D patterning techniques. However, the optical functionality of these structures has generally remained limited. Advances in materials chemistry have the opportunity to dramatically increase the function of templated 3D photonics, and a few examples of highly functional templated 3D photonics for sensing, solar energy harvesting, optical metamaterials, and light emission are presented as first examples of success.

Three?Dimensional Nanostructures for Photonics
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 p...

In this work, we propose a novel approach for wafer-scale integration of 2D materials on CMOS photonic chip utilising methods of synthetic chemistry and microfluidics technology. We have successfully demonstrated that this approach can be used for integration of any fluid-dispersed 2D nano-objects on silicon-on-insulator photonics platform. We demonstrate for the first time that the design of a...
متن کاملDirect laser writing of three-dimensional photonic-crystal templates for telecommunications.
The past decade has witnessed intensive research efforts related to the design and fabrication of photonic crystals. These periodically structured dielectric materials can represent the optical analogue of semiconductor crystals, and provide a novel platform for the realization of integrated photonics. Despite intensive efforts, inexpensive fabrication techniques for large-scale three-dimension...
متن کاملInfiltration of 3d Photonic Crystals with Embedded Structures
Introduction Colloidal self-assembly has been a widely explored approach for the generation of templates for photonic band gap (PBG) structures. This route possesses the advantage of being less tedious and expensive than the alternative layer-by-layer direct fabrication techniques that have been proposed. On the other hand, self-assembly routes are at a disadvantage with regard to their inheren...
