    Tailored optical functionality by combining electron‐beam and focused gold‐ion beam lithography for solid and inverse coupled plasmonic nanostructures
    (2020) Hentschel, Mario; Karst, Julian; Giessen, Harald
    Plasmonics is a field uniquely driven by advances in micro‐ and nanofabrication. Many design ideas pose significant challenges in their experimental realization and test the limits of modern fabrication techniques. Here, the combination of electron‐beam and gold ion‐beam lithography is introduced as an alternative and highly versatile route for the fabrication of complex and high fidelity plasmonic nanostructures. The capability of this strategy is demonstrated on a selection of planar as well as 3D nanostructures. Large area and extremely accurate structures are presented with little to no defects and errors. These structures exhibit exceptional quality in shape fidelity and alignment precision. The combination of the two techniques makes full use of their complementary capabilities for the realization of complex plasmonic structures with superior optical properties and functionalities as well as ultra‐distinct spectral features which will find wide application in plasmonics, nanooptics, metasurfaces, plasmonic sensing, and similar areas.

    3D direct laser writing of highly absorptive photoresist for miniature optical apertures
    (2022) Schmid, Michael D.; Toulouse, Andrea; Thiele, Simon; Mangold, Simon; Herkommer, Alois; Giessen, Harald
    The importance of 3D direct laser writing as an enabling technology increased rapidly in recent years. Complex micro-optics and optical devices with various functionalities are now feasible. Different possibilities to increase the optical performance are demonstrated, for example, multi-lens objectives, a combination of different photoresists, or diffractive optical elements. It is still challenging to create fitting apertures for these micro optics. In this work, a novel and simple way to create 3D-printed opaque structures with a highly absorptive photoresist is introduced, which can be used to fabricate microscopic apertures increasing the contrast of 3D-printed micro optics and enabling new optical designs. Both hybrid printing by combining clear and opaque resists, as well as printing transparent optical elements and their surrounding opaque apertures solely from a single black resist by using different printing thicknesses are demonstrated.

    Alignment-free difference frequency light source tunable from 5 to 20 µm by mixing two independently tunable OPOs
    (2020) Mörz, Florian; Steinle, Tobias; Linnenbank, Heiko; Steinmann, Andy; Giessen, Harald
    Tunable mid-infrared ultrashort lasers have become an essential tool in vibrational spectroscopy in recent years. They enabled and pushed a variety of spectroscopic applications due to their high brilliance, beam quality, low noise, and accessible wavelength range up to 20 µm. Many state-of-the-art devices apply difference frequency generation (DFG) to reach the mid-infrared spectral region. Here, birefringent phase-matching is typically employed, resulting in a significant crystal rotation during wavelength tuning. This causes a beam offset, which needs to be compensated to maintain stable beam pointing. This is crucial for any application. In this work, we present a DFG concept, which avoids crystal rotation and eliminates beam pointing variations over a broad wavelength range. It is based on two independently tunable input beams, provided by synchronously pumped parametric seeding units. We compare our concept to the more common DFG approach of mixing the signal and idler beams from a single optical parametric amplifier (OPA) or oscillator (OPO). In comparison, our concept enhances the photon efficiency of wavelengths exceeding 11 µm more than a factor of 10 and we still achieve milliwatts of output power up to 20 µm. This concept enhances DFG setups for beam-pointing-sensitive spectroscopic applications and can enable research at the border between the mid- and far-IR range due to its highly efficient performance.
