FORMATION AND PROPERTIES OF NEW TYPES OF METAL-DIELECTRIC NANOSTRUCTURES FOR CREATION OF OPTICAL METAMATERIALS
Abstract
New technologies of obtaining composite media were studied, which can reveal the properties of metamaterials: porous aluminum oxide films with a system of periodic nanoholes filled with noble metals; multilayer metal-dielectric (including, metal-polymer) nanostructures; polymer films with implemented metal nanoparticles, fish-net polymer structures with metal filling of cells. Dielectric and resonance properties of synthesized structures were investigated; the peculiarities of excitation of new types of quasi-non-diffracting plasmon-polaritons in them were established. The original methods and devices for characterization of optical properties of created composite nanostructures were proposed. The perspectives were shown how to use metamaterials when creating flat superlenses, to manipulate light beam parameters and also resonance-assisted evanescent nanolithography.
