“…Recent studies have found that composite absorbers are recognized as an effective method to overcome the weak EMWA capacity of single-component materials, the reasonable selection and combination of reinforcement and substrate matrix plays a vital role in the improvement of wave absorption performance. , 1D composite absorbers are commonly classified into three groups by their matrix materials: ceramic matrix, polymer matrix, and metal matrix composites . First, ceramic matrix composites are materials in which one or more distinct ceramic phases are intentionally added, which can enhance the wear resistance and thermal/chemical stability of EMWA materials.…”

With the increasing problems of electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) materials have received considerable attention in civil and military fields. Among various EMWA materials, one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials are recognized as a very promising candidate because of their unique aspect ratio, special shape anisotropy, large specific surface area, and simple manufacturing process. Herein, this paper presents a comprehensive review of recent research progress of 1D nanomaterials for EMWA applications, with a special focus on the advances in general preparation strategies and microscopic structure construction. Furthermore, the current challenge and future prospect of 1D electromagnetic absorbers are proposed, which should provide some guidelines for the design of advanced EMWA materials.

“…Nanomembrane-based 2D photonic crystals are usable in a large number of practical applications. Among these are passive ultracompact waveguide components [ 64 ], like channel waveguides used for mostly lossless beam bending at distances comparable to the operating wavelength, i.e., vastly smaller than in conventional photonics, other kinds of optical waveguide structures with micro dimensions, various kinds of optical filters, beam splitters, multiplexers/demultiplexers, various optical couplers [ 65 ], different types or resonators electrically, mechanically, or optically tunable in real time, coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) [ 66 ] that may use defect cavities in the photonic crystal, dielectric microdisks, microrings or microcavities, polarization converters, passive optical limiters [ 67 ], on-chip optical true time delay lines [ 68 ], etc. Figure 6 shows top views of some examples of passive waveguide-based components in 2D photonic crystal nanomembranes.…”

Bio-Inspired Nanomembranes as Building Blocks for Nanophotonics, Plasmonics and Metamaterials

Nanomembranes are the most widespread building block of life, as they encompass cell and organelle walls. Their synthetic counterparts can be described as freestanding or free-floating structures thinner than 100 nm, down to monatomic/monomolecular thickness and with giant lateral aspect ratios. The structural confinement to quasi-2D sheets causes a multitude of unexpected and often counterintuitive properties. This has resulted in synthetic nanomembranes transiting from a mere scientific curiosity to a position where novel applications are emerging at an ever-accelerating pace. Among wide fields where their use has proven itself most fruitful are nano-optics and nanophotonics. However, the authors are unaware of a review covering the nanomembrane use in these important fields. Here, we present an attempt to survey the state of the art of nanomembranes in nanophotonics, including photonic crystals, plasmonics, metasurfaces, and nanoantennas, with an accent on some advancements that appeared within the last few years. Unlimited by the Nature toolbox, we can utilize a practically infinite number of available materials and methods and reach numerous properties not met in biological membranes. Thus, nanomembranes in nano-optics can be described as real metastructures, exceeding the known materials and opening pathways to a wide variety of novel functionalities.

“…An interference bandpass flter can be formed using two edge flters, which are defned by a transmission edge and reject all wavelengths beyond it. Combining a shortpass (allowing shorter wavelengths to pass) and a longpass (allowing longer wavelengths to pass) edge flter forms a bandpass flter [7]. In such a design, the most frequent problem is the interference of the edge flters with each other, causing multiple refection peaks called fringes at the two extremes of the transmission band.…”

“…However, materials deposited with these technologies have poor optical quality. Evaporated flms are generally porous resulting in flters with poor humidity [7,11]. On the other hand, CVD processes lack in-situ measurement and control of deposition rates and flm stoichiometry resulting in variant layer thicknesses and refractive indices compared to the desired values.…”

“…Furthermore, using materials with a high refractive index contrast between them as the high and low refractive index material pairs will result in reducing the total number of pairs required in the flter design. Two such materials, having a high refractive index contrast between them [7,14], are niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) and silicon dioxide (SiO2).…”

Optical bandpass filters, used to restrict certain wavelengths while allowing other wavelengths to pass, are a common element in many optical devices, such as spectroscopic sensors and hyperspectral imagers. Such filters can be implemented using interference filters, which operate on the principle of constructive and destructive interference. In this work, an interference bandpass filter with continuously varying thicknesses of the constituent films is designed and fabricated for the visible spectral range. Niobium pentoxide and silicon dioxide are used as the filter materials due to the high refractive index contrast between them, resulting in a smaller number of required material films. Ion beam sputter deposition is used as the deposition method due to its ability to produce accurate thickness high optical quality films. The fabricated filter has a transmission band of 130 nm, i.e., 470–600 nm, and can block wavelengths as low as 300 nm and as high as 1080 nm, which is sufficient for use with silicon-based detectors in the visible spectral range. The maximum and minimum transmission inside the transmission band is 96% and 71%, respectively, with an average transmission of 88%. The transmission outside the transmission band is less than 1.6%.
