Tape-based flexible metallic and dielectric nanophotonic devices and metamaterials

Abstract

This paper describes a multifunctional nanotransfer printing (nTP) method based on a simple stick-and-peel procedure that allows fast production of multiple optical nanodevices using Scotch tape. In addition to the capabilities of forming single- and multi-layer nanopatterned films on a tape, the present technique facilitates the transfer of nanostructures onto unconventional substrates (such as cleaved fiber facets and curved fiber sides) and fabrication of more complex optical devices, including Fabry-Perot cavities. Moreover, our stick-and-peel method can be applicable to various metallic and dielectric structures, including metamaterials with the feature size below 100 nm and TiO2 nanopatterned films.
