Three-dimensional patterning of gold nano-particles on SiO2 and Si substrates is performed by ion-beam lithography with 15-20 nm resolution. Realization of an on-demand achiral and chiral modifications of nano-structures are demonstrated. Simulations of optical properties of the obtained nano-architectures reveal the possibility to tailor the field enhancement both in the spatial and spectral domains, which are foreseen to be applicable for light harvesting and opto-mechanics at nanoscale.

Most optical systems utilize refractive lenses to focus light. These lenses have low transmission and suffer chromatic aberration because the refractive index is a function of wavelength. Focusing light by reflective curved surfaces (e.g., spherical mirrors) could address these two issues. However, this is hard to implement in micro-optical systems since the imager, with similar dimensions to other components, would inherently be on the same side of the curved mirror as the light source, thus blocking the incoming light. Some natural visual systems, however, rely on a configuration of distributed mirrors to focus light [1]. Inspired by such systems, we designed and realized a cylindrical lens based on reflection from an array of micro-mirrors fabricated on a cylindrical flexible substrate.

A spatial light modulator (SLM) was fabricated with a poly-Si film that was obtained by metal-induced lateral crystallization (MILC) using Ni nanoparticles synthesized within cage-shaped protein molecules. The MILC increased crystallinity and increased residual tensile stress in the Si film. The large tensile stress generated hard spring effect in the SLM device to expand the actuation range of the SLM. In the frequency response of the SLM, Q factor increase was observed.

This paper presents the design, fabrication and characterization of a high-fill-factor tip-tilt-piston (TTP) micromirror which employs four symmetrical lateral-shift-free (LSF) piezoelectric actuators. Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is the piezoelectric material deposited using a sol-gel process. The measured resonant frequencies of the fabricated micromirror are 990 Hz (piston) and 1450 Hz (rotation), respectively. At resonance, the maximum piston motion is 92 μm and the rotational scan angle is 9.6°, both measured at a 5 Vpp sinusoidal driving voltage.
