Background:

Plasmonic nanostructures offer unique optical properties.
Controlling light-matter interactions at the nanoscale is crucial for advanced optical devices.

Purpose of the Study:

To fabricate and characterize large-area plasmonic substrates with asymmetric aluminum nanostructures.
To achieve tunable, angle-dependent color generation for various applications.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of asymmetric periodic aluminum nanostructures using immersed laser interference lithography and nanoimprint lithography.
Characterization of plasmonic resonances and resulting optical properties.

Main Results:

Observed strong coupling between localized and propagating plasmon resonances, leading to Fano line shapes.
Achieved tunable colors across the visible spectrum by adjusting nanostructure parameters (period, length).
Demonstrated a symmetry-broken color rendering effect with angle-dependent color observation.

Conclusions:

Asymmetric aluminum nanostructures enable efficient, large-area plasmonic color generation.
The tunable and angle-dependent optical properties are promising for anticounterfeiting, photovoltaics, sensing, displays, and optical security.
