Functionalities

Anti-Reflection Anti-reflective structures are structures on a surface that reduce the reflection from the surface compared to the bulk material. Read more
Wire Grid Polarizers The polarization of electromagnetic waves describes the orientation of wave oscillations perpendicular to the direction of propagation. A wire grid polarizer is an array of thin metal lines/wires closely spaced sitting on top of a transparent substrate. Read more
Light Diffusers A perfect light diffuser is a theoretical perfectly white surface with a uniform brightness that appears the same from any angle of view. Read more

Photonic Band Gap Photonic Band Gap materials, also known as photonic crystals, are materials which have a band gap due to a periodicity in the materials dielectric properties. Read more
Lotus Effect The lotus effect or superhydrophobicity has been known for many years, and is named after the lotus flower that grows in muddy waters but always looks clean. Read more
Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) SERS surfaces consist of metal (typical Au, Ag or Pt) patterns that are known to be able to enhance the signal in Raman Spectroscopy by more than 10,000 times. Read more
