Apparatus having nano-fingers of different physical characteristics |
摘要 |
An apparatus includes a substrate and a plurality of nano-fingers attached at respective first ends to the substrate and freely movable along their lengths, in which a first set of the plurality of nano-fingers comprises a first physical characteristic, wherein a second set of the plurality of nano-fingers comprises a second physical characteristic, and wherein the first physical characteristic differs from the second physical characteristic. |

1. An apparatus comprising:
a substrate; and a plurality of nano-fingers attached at respective first ends to the substrate, wherein a first set of the plurality of nano-fingers comprises a first physical characteristic, wherein a second set of the plurality of nano-fingers comprises a second physical characteristic that differs from the first physical characteristic, wherein the first physical characteristic comprises at least one of a length and a width and the second physical characteristic comprises at least one of a length and a width, wherein the first physical characteristic differs from the second physical characteristic, wherein the plurality of nano-fingers are composed of a flexible material, and wherein the first set of the plurality of nano-fingers and the second set of the plurality of nano-fingers are arranged on the substrate in a predetermined configuration that causes the plurality of nano-fingers to operate as at least one of a holographic grating, a Fresnel lens, and an optical interconnect lens, and thereby causes light that is at least one of emitted through and reflected from the plurality of nano-fingers to be modulated in a predetermined manner, wherein the first set of the plurality of nano-fingers are to collapse independently of the second set of the plurality of nano-fingers. |
