Abstract – In recent years, significant interest has emerged in the inverse design1 of artificial layered heterostructures for photonic applications2. Specifically, the unique optical properties of near-zero permittivity (ENZ) metamaterials have enabled the exploration of novel physical effects and mechanisms. In this presentation, I will delve into how thin film photonics harnesses the potential of Fano resonances3-4 and extreme optomechanics5. By layering metal-dielectric thin films, we can create a distinct type of optical coating that exhibits photonic Fano resonance, referred to as a Fano-resonant optical coating (FROC). We extend the concept of coupled mechanical oscillators to thin-film nanocavities, shedding light on semi-transparent FROCs that can both transmit and reflect the same color, akin to a beam splitter filter. This remarkable property is beyond the capabilities of conventional optical coatings. In the latter part of my presentation, I will discuss recent theoretical and experimental efforts aimed at exploring optomechanics based on epsilon-near-zero materials5.
