3D Printed Functionally Graded Plasmonic Constructs
Source abstract
Abstract
A new class of 3D functionally graded plasmonic materials and devices manufactured through 3D printing is presented. Up to eight different plasmonic inks are interwoven into a single functionally graded construct. Both continuous and discrete 3D gradients in plasmonic properties are realized. The approach is applied toward engineering of next‐generation plasmonic devices. Specifically, the manufacturing of a novel functionally graded plasmonic night‐vision contact lens is demonstrated.
