2010

A large, ordered nanocup array was fabricated and optically characterized. A novel fabrication method that combined Nanoimprint lithography (NIL), soft lithography, and shadow evaporation was designed to create asymmetric nanoparticles in a large (0.5cm x 1cm) array with subwavelength features. Although this fabrication procedure can be used to create many different types of asymmetric nanostructures that are useful in various plasmonic applications, here we fabricated a periodic nanocup array...

2007

This dissertation reports on the design, fabrication, and characterization of optical modulators and filters based upon resonant metallic gratings. The optical and electromechanical theory behind the operation of these devices is also presented with modeling results to confirm experimental results. Optical modulators and filters were made for both the infrared (IR) and visible wavelengths. A tunable IR filter based on a metal grating patterned...
