Download or read book Analysis, Design, and Manufacture of Thin-film Plasmonic Materials written by James Peter Dolas and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigation of analysis methods of plasmonic crystals and metamaterials using traditional optical analysis, Planewave Expansion Method, and multiphysics software was conducted. 1D and 2D plasmonic crystals were studied and simulated for field enhancement. The sub-diffraction superlens and anisotropic lenses based on metamaterials were studied and an anisotropic lens was designed through computation. Comparison to existing work was made for evaluation of use in sub-diffraction limit nano-lithography. Investigation of manufacturing methods for thin-film-based plasmonic materials was carried-out. Ultra-flat metal methods involving template-stripping were used for superior surface performance key in plasmonic applications. Template-stripping through metal diffusion bonding and adhesive bonding were investigated, discussed, and employed with patterned ultra-flat metal films.
