    We developed a flexible, all-metal waveplate using nano-gratings. This device functions as a quarter-waveplate at 465nm and 921nm and a half-waveplate at 656nm, ideal for flexible optoelectronics.

    Area of Science:

    • Nanophotonics and Metamaterials
    • Optical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Traditional waveplates often lack mechanical flexibility and durability.
    • Developing robust, adaptable optical components is crucial for emerging technologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and fabricate a novel all-metal, flexible, reflective multiband waveplate.
    • To explore its potential for applications in demanding environments and flexible optoelectronics.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized nano-grating structures fabricated via interference lithography and nickel electroplating.
    • Employed Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) modeling to optimize geometrical parameters for phase shift and reflection efficiency.

    Main Results:
