ナノスケール共金属構造を用いて光を操作するための装置および方法

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new class of highly efficient and low cost nanoscale structures for other applications.SOLUTION: An apparatus and a method for controlling light using nanoscale co-metal structures are disclosed herein. A nanoscale optical apparatus for controlling light includes a plurality of nanoscale co-metal structures each including a dielectric material located between a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor. A method of fabricating the nanoscale optical apparatus for controlling light includes the steps of: preparing a plurality of nanoscale planar structures; coating a plurality of planar surfaces of the plurality of planar structures with a dielectric while leaving a space between the plurality of planar surfaces; and coating the dielectric with an outer electrical conductor layer. A portion of the outer electrical conductor layer is located between the planar structures to form coplanar structures.
