Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will cover interdisciplinary topics at the frontier of nanomaterials and nanodevices, covering a wide range of applications in nanophotonics, plasmonics and metamaterials, including plasmonic waveguides, 2D material nanostructures, metamaterials and metasurfaces, advanced developments and applications in nanophotonics, topological photonics and microwave photonics, light modulation, sensing and detection, metalens and their optical imaging, etc. Submissions should be devoted to research on nanomaterials and nanocomposites (perovskites, phase-change materials, 2D materials, 3D-structured nanomaterials, topological materials, etc.), device fabrications, advanced nanomaterials, optoelectronic and electromagnetic properties and the investigation of theoretical (and modeling of) structure–property relationships. Papers on areas not mentioned in the specified topics are also welcome if they are related to the theme of the Special Issue.

This Special Issue aims to provide a specialized platform for researchers working in this field where they can share new results, challenges and perspectives with regard to new advances in plasmonics, metamaterials and nanophotonics, light modulation and detection applications and roadmaps for new directions in this field.

Metalenses are emerging as an alternative to digital micromirror devices (DMDs), with the advantages of compactness and flexibility. The exploration of metalenses has ignited enthusiasm among optical engineers, positioning them as the forthcoming frontier in technology. In this paper, we advocate for the implementation of the phase-change material, Sb2Se3, capable of providing swift, reversible, non-volatile focusing and defocusing within the 1550 nm telecom spectrum. The lens, equipped with a robust ITO microheater, offers unparalleled functionality and constitutes a significant step toward dynamic metalenses that can be integrated with beamforming applications. After a meticulously conducted microfabrication process, we showcase a device capable of rapid tuning (0.1 MHz level) for metalens focusing and defocusing at C band communication, achieved by alternating the PCM state between the amorphous and crystalline states. The findings from the experiment show that the device has a high contrast ratio for switching of 28.7 dB. Full article

In this paper, we demonstrate an adjustable trifunctional absorber that can achieve the conversion of broadband, narrowband and superimposed absorption based on the phase transition material vanadium dioxide (VO2) in the mid-infrared domain. The absorber can achieve the switching of multiple absorption modes by modulating the temperature to regulate the conductivity of VO2. When the VO2 film is adjusted to the metallic state, the absorber serves as a bidirectional perfect absorber with switching capability of wideband and narrowband absorption. The superposed absorptance can be generated while the VO2 layer is converted to the insulating state. Then, we introduced the impedance matching principle to explain the inner mechanism of the absorber. Our designed metamaterial system with a phase transition material is promising for sensing, radiation thermometer and switching devices. Full article
