Fabrication of Ge2Sb2Te5 metasurfaces by direct laser writing technique

We experimentally demonstrate fabrication of tunable high contrast periodic fishnet metasurfaces with 3 um period on 200 nm thick Ge2Sb2Te5 films sputted onto glass and sapphire substrates using direct laser writing technique. We find that the use of sapphire substrate provides better accuracy of metasurface segments due to high thermal conductivity. The advantages of the demonstrated method consist in its simplicity, rapidity, robustness, and the ability of tuning of fabricated structures. This is of crucial importance for the creation of robust and tunable metasurfaces for applications in the field of telecommunications and information processing.

Optical diffraction from Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_5$ fishnet metasurfaces

We report the creation of Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_5$ metasurfaces on sapphire substrates by the ablation method and the study of their structural properties by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and optical diffraction. The main emphasis is on the optical technique, which boils down to obtaining bright Laue diffraction patterns on a screen, observing them with the naked eye, and analyzing the fine structure of diffraction reflections. It has been demonstrated that in one simple optical experiment it is possible to assess the quality of fabricated metasurfaces, determine the structure symmetry, and, moreover, determine the number of structural elements and lattice constants of the micron-sized metasurface. The accuracy of the optical technique is confirmed by comparison with the results of studies by SEM and AFM methods.

Wide band enhancement of the transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect in magnetite-based plasmonic crystals

The transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect (TMOKE) in magnetite-based magneto-plasmonic crystals is studied experimentally and theoretically. We analyze angle-resolved TMOKE spectra from two types of structures where noble metallic stripes are incorporated inside a thin magnetite film or located on top of a homogeneous film. A multiple wide band enhancement of the TMOKE signal in transmission is demonstrated. The complex dielectric permittivity and gyration are experimentally determined using the ellipsometry technique as well as Faraday rotation and ellipticity measurements. The obtained parameters are used in rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) calculations for studying the optical resonances. Our RCWA calculations of transmittance and TMOKE are in good agreement with the experimental data. The role of guiding and plasmonic modes in the TMOKE enhancement is revealed. We demonstrate that the TMOKE provides rich information about the studied optical resonances.
