Abstract

Provided are nanostructures and optical devices having the nanostructures. The nanostructure may include a carbon nanomaterial layer, a nanopattern formed on the carbon nanomaterial layer, and a metal layer formed on a surface of the nanopattern. The nanostructure may be formed in a ring shape, and the metal layer may include a plurality of metal layers formed of different metals.

Claims (23)

1. A nanostructure comprising:

a carbon nanomaterial layer;

a nanopattern formed directly on the carbon nanomaterial layer; and

a metal layer coated on a surface of the nanopattern,
