High-Throughput Fabrication of Resonant Metamaterials with Ultrasmall Coaxial Apertures via Atomic Layer Lithography by Yoo, Daehan, Martin-Moreno, Luis, Mohr, Daniel A., Carretero-Palacios, Sol, Shaver, Jonah, Ebbesen, Thomas W., Oh, Sang-Hyun, Nguyen, Ngoc Cuong, Peraire, Jaime

“…The resulting energy accumulation alongside extraordinary optical transmission can benefit applications in nonlinear optics, optical trapping, and surface-enhanced spectroscopies. Furthermore, because the resonance wavelength is independent of the cavity length and dramatically red shifts as the gap size is reduced, large-area arrays can be constructed with λresonance ≫ period, making this fabrication method ideal for manufacturing resonant metamaterials.…”
