METAMATERIALS INSTITUTE

Research in this area has accelerated at an immense rate in the last couple of years, thanks to advances in computation, nanofabrication, and the development of new experimental techniques to image light fields of dimensions smaller than the wavelength. Nanoplasmonics is at the verge of developing into a very promising technology platform for next-generation applications in information technologies, energy, high-density data storage, life sciences and security. The nanoplasmonics group, operate at the forefront of plasmonics research, and are collaborating with a wide range of key groups both across Imperial College London, within the UK and internationally... The main function of the laboratory is to process and integrate various micro-nano structures and prototype devices required for nano-institutes in the fields of physics, chemistry, biomedicine and materials. In addition to traditional silicon materials, the laboratory also has the ability to process other types of substrate..
