Abstract
Nanotechnology related research is rece i ving much interest with the demanding need to go to smaller dimensions. Nanotechnologies today can be found in various applications such as computer processors, data storage devices and anti-counterfeit technologies. Nevertheless, nanotechnologies haven't made their major industrial breakthrough yet and stay majorly limited to research laboratories. This is primarily due to the fact that material structuring at nanoscale is still expensive, time-consuming and not suitable for mass production. Major research efforts are thus being focused on developing new techniques that allow for a facile and reproducible fabrication of nanostructures.
This seminar will focus on the fabrication research activity within the nanophotonics group of the laboratory on nanotechnology, instrumentation and optics (LNIO, France). We first begin with a general introduction on nanophotonics in which we discuss general photonic concepts and applications. We move on afterwards to discuss bottom-up and top-down nanofabrication techniques, such as chemical bath deposition and nanosphere as well as interference lithography, showing some of the nanofabrication results obtained by the group.
