  • Sensors with Capacitive Transduction via Metamaterials for Gas Detection
    Publication number: 20220381730
    Abstract: Devices and methods for detecting an analyte in a gas involve the use of plasmonic excitation of a nanostructured sensing element that is tuned to absorb at a narrow bandwidth specific for light absorbed by the analyte. The sensing element can be used as a capacitive or inductive element in a circuit.

  • Printed Micro and Nanostructured Arrays for Thermal Management of Electronic Devices
    Publication number: 20220384302
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cooling integrated circuits and other chop-based electronic devices use plasmonic absorption and emission of near infrared (NIR) radiation. Nanostructure arrays tuned to appropriate infrared wavelengths emit NIR from a hot chip substrate to other nanostructure arrays at the chip outer package, which absorb the NIR and transmit it away from the package outer surface.

  • Metalenses for Use in Night-Vision Technology
    Publication number: 20220228918
    Abstract: Thin film infrared (IR) imaging devices including a metalens layer configured to focus IR radiation onto a plasmonic absorber layer are provided for thin form factor and lightweight design of IR imaging devices. The devices can be produced using directed assembly methods and transfer printing of nanoelements. The fabrication methods are scalable and provide low cost means to produce the IR imaging devices.
