Sustainable Manufacturing of Optical Metasurfaces with Engineered Optical Materials

I will deliver the recent progress of manufacturing of optical metasurfaces based on the combination of electron-beam lithography, deep-ultraviolet photolithography and nanoimprint lithography with engineered optical materials such as high-index resins, bandgap-modified thin films and hybrid ALD polymers.
