Plasmonics is a still rising field of science and technology in
which the flow of light can be molded at the nanoscale using
metallic nanostructures. The aim of the course is to introduce you
to advanced numerical tools for analyzing light interaction with
metallic nanostructures, and to introduce you to state-of-art
nanofabrication technology for realizing designed nanoplasmonic
devices. The course covers import aspects from design to
fabrication and characterization of plasmonic nanodevices.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Conduct numerical simulations by advanced computational
tools
Apply advanced computational tools to design plasmonic
structures
Analyze the properties of designed plasmonic nanostructure
Describe the nanofabrication process and access the fabrication
challenges for plasmonic nanostructures
Utilize obtained hands-on experiences with advanced
experimental equipment
Manage the optical alignment for the free-space measurement
setup
Conduct the characterization of the plasmonic
nanostructures
Evaluate and compare measurement results with
simulations
Kursusindhold:
The course consists of two parts. The first part of it mainly
focuses on numerical simulations. A number of numerical exercises
will be handed out during this part. The second part of the course
is to fabricate plasmonic nanostructures/devices in the Danchip.
Safety course is required for students who are going to do
nanofabrication in the cleanroom. We will guide and assist you in
fabricating your own plasmonic nanodevices. Fabricated devices will
be finally examined with the aid of a scanning electron microscope
and will be characterized in the Opt-Lab. You will present your
results in a report to be submitted toward the end of the course
period.
