Systems, devices, and methods for an extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) image capture system comprising optical components to capture light corresponding to an object, an EOT filter device to receive the captured light and transmit wavelengths of interest, and an image sensor to receive the wavelengths of interest and capture an image corresponding to the object. The EOT filter device comprising a first EOT film with thickness Tand including upper and lower surfaces and a plurality of apertures having a pitch P, a second EOT film with thickness Tand including upper and lower surfaces and a plurality of apertures having a pitch P; and an optical cavity disposed between the first and second EOT films, the optical cavity having a thickness Tand a refractive index RI, wherein the EOT filter device transmits wavelengths of interest based on thicknesses Tand T, pitches Pand P, and thickness T.

Multi-layer extraordinary optical transmission filter systems, devices, and methods

An optical routing element may include a planar dielectric photonic crystal which includes a lattice of holes having a first linear defect adjacent a second linear defect, with the two defects being separated by a central row of lattice holes. The first linear defect in the lattice of holes may form a first single mode line defect waveguide, and the second linear defect in the lattice of holes may form a second single mode line defect waveguide. Optical energy may be selectively coupled between the first and second waveguides across the central row of lattice holes. A free-carrier injector may be included to inject free-carriers into the dielectric photonic crystal, activation of which may alter selectivity of the optical coupling between the first and second waveguides. A plurality of optical routing elements with associated free-carrier injectors may be interconnected to form a bi-directional optical routing array.

A transfer process for silicon nanomembranes (SiNM) may involve treating a recipient substrate with a polymer structural support. After treating the recipient substrate, a substrate containing the intended transferable devices may be brought in direct contact with the aforementioned polymer layer. The two substrates may then go through a Deep Reactive Ion Etch (DRIE) to remove at least a portion of the substrate containing the devices. Oxide may be selectively removed with a buffered oxide wet etch, leaving the transferred SiNM on the recipient substrate with the Underlying polymer layer.
