讲座摘要
We discuss two applications of engineering light-matter interactions at the nanoscale.
The first is for optical nanotweezers based on plasmonic nanoapertures. We use simulated annealing to design the latter. The nanoapertures have irregular shapes that are chosen by our algorithm. We present electromagnetic simulations that show that these produce stronger field enhancements and extraction energies than conventional nanoapertures for optical nanotweezers. The designs are realized by fabricating precision apertures with a helium/neon ion microscope and are studied by cathodoluminescence and optical trapping.
The second is for chip-scale infrared microspectrometers. The identification of chemicals from their mid-infrared spectra has applications that include industrial production of chemicals, food production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and environmental monitoring. This is generally done using laboratory benchtop tools, such as the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Although such systems offer high performance, alternative platforms offering reduced size, weight, and cost can enable a host of new applications. Here a compact microspectrometer platform for chemical identification, comprising a mid-infrared metasurface integrated with a lightweight (≈1 g) and very small (≈1 cm3) microbolometer-based thermal camera is experimentally demonstrated.
