Plasmonic Colour Filters Based on Coaxial Holes in Aluminium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aluminum is an alternative plasmonic material in the visible regions of the spectrum due to its attractive properties such as low cost, high natural abundance, ease of processing, and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and liquid crystal display (LCD) compatibility. Here, we present plasmonic colour filters based on coaxial holes in aluminium that operate in the visible range. Using both computational and experimental methods, fine-tuning of resonance peaks through precise geometric control of the coaxial holes is demonstrated. These results will lay the basis for the development of filters in high-resolution liquid crystal displays, RGB-spatial light modulators, liquid crystal over silicon devices and novel displays.

Filling schemes at submicron scale: Development of submicron sized plasmonic colour filters
The pixel size imposes a fundamental limit on the amount of information that can be displayed or recorded on a sensor. Thus, there is strong motivation to reduce the pixel size down to the nanometre scale. Nanometre colour pixels cannot be fabricated by simply downscaling current pixels due to colour cross talk and diffraction caused by dyes or pigments used as colour filters. Colour filters ba...

متن کاملThe Temperature Sensitivity of Coaxial and Slabline Resonators
Interdigital and combline filters, constructed from commonly available metallic components, such as brass, aluminium, steel etc, invariably are affected by their thermal expansion and contraction. The effect is especially significant in very narrow band filters where the change in the resonant frequency of slabline and coaxial resonators can result in a significant unwanted shift in the pass or...

To move beyond colorant-based pigmentation display technologies, a variety of photonic and plasmonic crystal based structures have been designed and applied as colour filters. Nanostructure based colour filtering offers increased efficiencies, low power consumption, slim dimensions, and enhanced resolution. However, incident angle tolerance still needs to be improved. In this work, we propose a...
