Self-Assembly of 3-D Multifunctional Ceramic Composites for Photonics and Sensors
Abstract
Under MURI support, we are 1) demonstrating the formation of highly functional 3-D photonic crystals using interference lithography; the breakthrough tools are be gray-scale phase masks designed with genetic algorithms (GAs) and fabricated through scanning probe imprint lithography; 2) fabricating electrically active single crystal III-V heterostructured 3-D photonic crystals; 3) demonstrating the holographic patterning of 3-D photonic crystals in IR transparent chalcogenide glasses; 4) developing a new class of ultrafast charge and discharge battery systems. Each of these specific aims builds directly off discoveries supported by our earlier MURI work. Specific applications include new IR photonic crystal based filters for multispectral imaging, optical metamaterials, and GaAs based 3-D photonic crystal lasers.
