In this devices, the Au nanocrown array for nanophotonic switching are self-assembled on np-AAO/PET at its one end using batch processes. The advantages of such nano-structure nanophotonic switches are as follows, (1) The surface area of Au nanocrown array/np-AAO is increased. Thus, the photoconductivity of nanophotonic switches is increased; and (2) The Au nanocrown array consists of nanopores transferred from the np-AAO template. Thus, the electron transport induced by localized surface plasmon resonance can be increased by the Au nanocrown array/np-AAO. (3) The np-AAO with higher flexibility and compatibility are promising nanotemplate for flexible application. In applications, flexible nanophotonic switches consisted of Au nanocrown array on np-AAO template is implemented. Measurements demonstrate the sensitivity and photonic instant response of the nanostructure photonic switches is significantly enhanced.","PeriodicalId":6334,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics (OMN)","volume":"38 1","pages":"135-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74499123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A sapphire substrate with an initial roughness of Ra=6.00 nm was polished by 100 Pa Cl2 gas atmosphere under laser irradiation for 60 minutes, and smoothened into Ra= 1.91 nm. Due to the Gaussian intensity distribution in the laser beam section, there was in-plane distribution of surface roughness. Furthermore, etching time got longer, the roughness was increased. This result suggests nonadiabatic optical near-field etching to sapphire substrate has an optimal etching time, which agrees with a result of SiO2 substrate.","PeriodicalId":6334,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics (OMN)","volume":"36 1","pages":"121-122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73254517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
