Achieving hyper-resolution in direct laser writing using epsilon-near-zero meta-materials
Seminar presented by: Giuseppe Lio
An increasing amount of research is being devoted to improving the spatial resolution of photo-polymerization in direct laser writing, a method used to microfabricate photonic circuits, ordering matrices for nanoemitters, and plasmonic-photonic transistors, just to name a few. Hyperbolic metamaterials and nanocavities enable a variety of uncommon optical effects such as extraordinary transmittance, zero reflectance, giant dephasing, and epsilon-near-zero permittivity. We used a metal/insulator/metal/insulator planar multilayer to upgrade a standard two-photon direct laser writing process to hyper resolution. The improved resolution opens new possibilities in the microfabrication of next-generation 2d/3d nanoscale devices, ordering matrices for nanoparticles, flexible substrate with tunable plasmonic resonance, and in thermoplasmonics. Moreover, a high resolution is crucial for industrial applications in fields such as anti-counterfeiting and flat optics. Having reduced the voxel size by about 89% in height and 50% in width, we fabricated microlabels encoding physical unclonable functions, and apochromatic broadband metalenses with an extended focal length and depth of focus, with a numerical aperture of 0.87.
