Optical Nanoantenna Coupled Detector and Hybrid Surface Waveguide
Miao, Shenjie (2020-05)In recent years, plasmonic resonant antennas have seen widespread consideration in many detection and chemistry applications due to their potential for enhancing and confining the emission and polarization of electromagnetic ... -
Optical nanoantenna impedance matching and duality and hybrid surface phononic waveguide
Xu, Yuancheng (2017-05)This work contributes to critical requirements for optical and infrared nanoantenna and waveguide applications; 1) the impedance of an optical nanoantenna is addressed, and 2) long propagation lengths and high confinement ... -
A parametric analysis of microbolometer pixel designs
Dumas, Matthew J.; Lail, Brian A. (2011-09-16)As microbolometer pixel dimensions for infrared imagers continue to decrease, the need for full-wave analysis in the design process is enhanced. Using reflectance as the validation point, an electromagnetic model of a ... -
PHONON POLARITON ENHANCED INFRARED WAVEGUIDES
Yang, Yuchen (2018-12)The need for robust, reliable and sensitive terahertz (THz) sources and detectors has motivated the research into waveguiding structures. The increasing adoption of micro- and nanofabricated optical components addresses ... -
Resonant Coupling of an Infrared Metasurface with PMMA
Finch, Michael Francis (2014-05)Resonance coupling between a metasurface or planar metamaterial and PMMA’s, polymethyl methacrylate, phonon resonance corresponding to the C=O molecular bond at 1733 cm-1 (52 THz) is investigated. Two metasurfaces, nano ... -
A subwavelength perfect absorbing metamaterial patch array coupled with a molecular resonance
Finch, Michael F.; Lail, Brian A. (2018-02)A perfectly absorbing metamaterial (PAMM) coupled with vibrational modes has varied applications ranging from surface-enhanced vibrational spectroscopy to biological sensing. This endeavor considers a subwavelength PAMM ... -
SURFACE PHONON POLARITON-ENHANCED RING RESONATOR AND E-PLANE HYBRID RING COUPLER
Barreto Saunders Filho, Claudio Augusto (2019-07)Surface polaritons are known for providing the ability to confine light beyond the Abbe’s limit of diffraction. While metals efficiently support surface plasmon polaritons in the visible-UV spectrum, some semiconductors ...
