Characterisation and fabrication of nanophotonic devices based on multi-layer stacks

基于多层堆叠的纳米光子器件的表征和制造。该提案的目的是继续现有的基于多层堆叠方法的纳米光子器件的制造和表征的合作项目。该项目将整合各合作大学的最新技术，以制造一种纳米探针，该探针可以产生比传统条件下强约四个数量级的倏逝场。这种新型探针为成功制造创新的纳米光子器件提供了关键，这些器件包括光子晶体管，光子电路，高密度数据存储磁盘和驱动器，纳米电机和生物芯片，这些器件是生物技术，信息技术和光学计算技术的基础。

Characterisation and fabrication of nanophotonic devices based on multi-layer stacks. The aim of this proposal is to continue the existing collaborative project on fabrication and characterisation of nanophotonic devices based on the multi-layer stack method. The project will integrate the state-of-the-art techniques in the respective collaborating universities to fabricate a nano-probe which can produce an evanescent field approximately four orders of magnitude stronger than that under the conventional condition. This novel probe provides a key to the successful fabrication of innovative nanophotonic devices including photonic transistors, photonic circuits, high-density data storage disks and drives, nano-motors and biochips, which underpin biotechnology, information technology and optical computing technology.
