This project will focus on a goal of engineering novel plasmonic metamaterials for manipulating light at the nanoscale. In particular, it will employ curved anodized alumina templates as well as 3D hybrid structures to explore light bending and strong resonances at the visible spectral range. Plasmonic metamaterials offer a unique ability to control subwavelength light propagation, for achieving unprecedented sensing sensitivities and emerging nanophotonics phenomena. However, fabrication challenges and high losses hamper their application in the visible spectral range. Engineering these plasmonic structures in a scalable manner should strengthen Australia’s economy, lead to new industrial companies in the emerging field of plasmonics, attract international investments and create job opportunities.

这个项目将集中在设计新型等离子体超材料以在纳米尺度上操纵光的目标。特别是，它将使用弯曲的阳极氧化氧化铝模板以及3D混合结构来探索可见光谱范围内的光弯曲和强共振。等离子体超材料提供了一种独特的能力来控制亚波长的光传播，以实现前所未有的传感灵敏度和新兴的纳米光子学现象。然而，制造上的挑战和高损耗阻碍了其在可见光谱范围内的应用。以可扩展的方式设计这些等离子结构应该会增强澳大利亚的经济，在新兴的等离子领域催生新的工业公司，吸引国际投资并创造就业机会。
