Congratulations to Pau for his invited oral presentation at PHOTOPTICS 2026 (NanoPlasMeta workshop) in Marbella.

His talk, “Patterned In-Situ Growth as a Platform for Novel Plasmonic Metamaterials”, introduced a bottom-up approach to fabricating ordered gold nanoparticle arrays. By combining surface patterning with direct in situ growth, the method achieves strong lattice plasmon resonances (Q > 70) without relying on complex lithographic techniques.

The process stands out for its versatility: the optical response can be tuned through pattern design, particle features, and substrate choice, while ongoing work explores added control via microfluidics and light-directed growth. You can view his abstract here
