Streszczenie referatu:

The main objective of COST Action MP0702: Towards Functional Sub-Wavelength Photonic Structures (2008-2012) is to establish active links between European laboratories working in the field of artificial materials for photonics applications, where the structural dimensions are at or below the wavelength of light. Fabrication of such structures has become possible due to the expertise delivered by nanotechnology, which opens the way to the study of new functional artificial materials and plasmonic structures, promising progress in miniaturisation - and which will allow exploration of new aspects of light-matter interaction. The goal is to increase knowledge about the basic mechanisms of the interaction of light with matter on a sub-wavelength scale. The scientific innovation concerns: the basic mechanisms of light-matter interaction in micro- and nanostructured materials - including metals (plasmonics), the trade-off between strong localization and propagation losses, photonic diagnostic instruments, and non-linear effects. The technological impact of the Action leads to the implementation of advanced optical equipment and devices with high performance and low cost. The scientific progress achieved by the Action facilitates interconnection between topics that will produce new results in the field of photonics and pave the way to the forthcoming era of nanophotonics.

In this talk the achieved results and directions of scientific work performed by COST Action community and cooperation Actions will be reviewed by the Chairperson of the Action. The examples of successful international cooperation will include but will not be limited to:

Manufacturing of a DFB cavity based on Erbium doped organic emitter. Organic deposition of ErQ has been experimented with two alternative techniques: spin-coating as a solution processing technique and Organic Molecular Beam Epitaxy OMBE. Novel UV assisted imprinting method has been used for the fabrication of the DFB grating on Silicon wafer, resulting in a good quality samples with proper height of the grating after the etching process. In addition, efficient spin-coating of novel Er-doped organic material has been achieved on the DFB grating samples.

Formation of laser induced photonic sub-wavelength nanostructures at polymer surfaces in combination with techniques for introduction of genetically active material into cells. This process is known as cell transfection. Whilst on a surface, cells can be transfected by electroporation. Polymer surfaces with sub-wavelength photonic structures were used as cell supports. The use of these nanostructured surfaces should lead to enhanced sorting selectivity and better transfection efficiency. The photonic nano-structures at the polymer surface in future may be used both for control of cell behaviour, and for transport of light in biological fluorescence assays.

Metallic Mesh Metamaterials (MTM) - electromagnetic features in the microwave frequency regime, experiments both in the free-space and waveguide arrangements. It has been demonstrated the waveguide structure exhibits a negative refractive index around 10 GHz. To our knowledge, the waveguide experiment is the first experimental verification of the fishnet based MTM in a waveguide for X-band.

In addition, a presence of and contribution by a COST partner Prof. Hovik Baghdasaryan from State Engineering University of Armenia is foreseen.
