We developed novel polarization-sensitive plasmonic metasurfaces using pulsed laser technology. These metasurfaces enable tunable polarization control and high extinction ratios for near- and mid-infrared light.

Area of Science:

Plasmonics
Metamaterials
Nanotechnology

Background:

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is crucial for optical sensing and manipulation.
Existing fabrication methods for plasmonic metasurfaces can be complex and costly.
Developing versatile and direct fabrication techniques is essential for advancing metasurface applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel, direct fabrication method for polarization-sensitive gap surface plasmon metasurfaces using pulsed laser light.
To demonstrate the tunability of polarization control by varying the insulating cavity's size and material.
To achieve high extinction ratios for polarization control in the near- and mid-infrared spectral regions.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of metasurfaces via laser-induced periodic surface structures on nanometer-thick nickel (Ni) films.

Main Results:

Successful creation of metal-insulator-metal plasmonic metasurfaces with highly-ordered, sinusoidal metallic nanowires.
Demonstration of sharp, resonant gap surface plasmons enabling polarization control in reflection.
Observation of polarization-sensitive perfect absorption and high extinction ratios in the near- and mid-IR.
Experimental validation of well-defined, controllable, and sharp resonances with polarization-sensitive absorption response.

Conclusions:

Pulsed laser direct material processing offers a versatile alternative for fabricating advanced plasmonic metasurfaces.
The developed metasurfaces exhibit significant polarization control capabilities, tunable via the insulating cavity.
These findings pave the way for novel optical devices with tailored polarization responses in the infrared spectrum.
