Contributions

In this project of plasmo-thermomechanical IR detector, I have explored the preliminary design of the IR absorption component by FDTD simulation. I have designed and built the high-vacuum measurement chamber, as well as some parts of the optical

141

measurement system. I have performed the focused ion beam (FIB) milling to cut the membrane into nanobeams, and SEM characterization of the sample.
