Abstract

Stimulated emission depletion microscopy inspired direct laser writing (STED-DLW) processes incorporated with electroplating can offer diffraction-unlimited fabrication of complex metallic structures in three dimensions, not possible with traditional electron-beam or optical lithography. We propose a two-dimensionally isotropic optical metamaterial with negative permeability for fabrication with STED-DLW and electroplating of gold.
