Teresa Maria, Joana Sofia Branquinho 2015-09-25T20:53:11Z 2015-09-25T20:53:11Z 10000-01-01 2008 2008 Rogers, John A. A second dissertation topic involved exploring the field of nano-plasmonics, with a strong emphasis on sensing applications. Until recently, the development of this field has suffered from difficulties and high cost associated to the production of high quality samples. Soft lithographic techniques, including phase shift lithography and replica molding, have the potential to solve this long-standing problem if applied to the fabrication of novel plasmonic crystals. I used Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) calculations to model their optical response and to assess the sensing potential of the different configurations. Enhancements in sensitivity by a factor of 10 are predicted. Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T20:53:11Z (GMT).
