Gleb M. Akselrod, CTO and Co-founder, Holosense – Controlling Light with Metasurfaces: February 27, 3:30 pm, EEB 303
Controlling Light with Metasurfaces Gleb M. Akselrod, CTO and Co-Founder, Holosense Feb. 27, 3:30 PM, EEB 303 Metasurfaces are surfaces composed of sub-wavelength elements that offer an unprecedented way to manipulate light. In this talk I will first describe my work from Duke University on colloidal metasurfaces, which act as unique “paints” that can manipulate…

Prof. Edo Waks from the University of Maryland to give EE colloquium on 2/13/18
Interactions between light and matter lie at the heart of optical communication and information processing. Nanophotonic devices enhance light-matter interactions by confining photons to small mode volumes, enabling devices to operate at significantly lower energies. In the strong coupling regime these interactions are sufficiently large to generate a nonlinear response with a single photon, an…
