Materials Science

Background:

Hydrogel nanophotonic devices offer tunable structural coloration and optical display capabilities.
Current tunable strategies often rely on single physical mechanisms, limiting integrated functionalities.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a hydrogel metagrating combining Fabry-Pérot (FP) resonance and diffraction for tunable absorption and beam steering.
To develop a direct-patterning technique for creating hydrogel-based nanophotonic devices.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a three-layer Ag/Hydrogel/Ag nanocavity using electron-beam exposure for direct patterning.
Exploiting hydrogel shrinkage for tuning the Fabry-Pérot resonance.
Investigating the device's response to humidity variations.

Main Results:

Achieved tunable absorption with a rapid response speed (<320 ms) and a wide peak shift range (>150 nm) by varying humidity.
Demonstrated wavelength-selective beam steering exclusively at the resonance wavelength.
Successfully integrated FP resonance and diffraction effects in a single hydrogel metagrating device.

Conclusions:

The proposed tunable hydrogel metagrating enables active switching of operating wavelengths via humidity control.
This technology advances tunable metasurfaces for applications in optical filtering, gas sensing, and optical imaging.
