Documents, reports (3)

Communication material

Communication materials including visual identity and basic project rules for communication

Design of the plasmonic structures

Geometric design of metallic structures realized on the tapered fibers Results of simulations will be reported in terms of electromagnetic field distribution reflectance and transmission spectrum Two different types of plasmonic structures will be designed one that maximizes scattering and one that maximizes absorption for SERS and heat generation respectively

Implementation of the M-2PL System

A M2PL system will be implemented as described in Task 31 able to perform twophoton lithography along the entire taper We will report the design of the system in terms of optical path its spatial resolution and its writing speed
