2D and 3D nanofabrication of optical metastructures (Invited Paper)

27 January 2025 • 4:25 PM - 4:55 PM PST | Moscone South, Room 155 (Upper Mezz)

Abstract

In this talk, we discuss our recent progress on the design, modeling, fabrication and characterization of optical metastructures, and their use for emission manipulation, field confinement, wavefront shaping, imaging and sensing. We tailor the nanofabrication scheme to leverage a wide set of materials, heterostructures and broken symmetries in order to tailor the optical response to the wavelength of interest and the desired functionality. In the talk, we discuss various recent approaches that we have developed in the quest of optimizing the overall optical response of the resulting metastructures.
