New article about metasurfaces on optical fiber

Congratulations to Muskan, Olha, Swagato, and Vaibhav for their publication in Journal of Polymer Science as special issue dedicated to 75th anniversary of Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF)

Special congratulations go to Muskan, who achieved these results under special circumstances/pressure. Due to the emerging pandemic in March 2020, she had to finish the experimental part of this publication/master’s thesis earlier.

Together with the Markus A. Schmidt et al. with expertise in fiber photonics, we transfer a hexagonally packed monolayer of gold nanoparticles onto an untreated fiber end face.
