Directional Character of Nanolight Could Improve Efficiency of Nanophotonic Devices
Directional Character of Nanolight Could Improve Efficiency of Nanophotonic Devices
Squeezed light in the nanoscale (“nanolight”) was found to propagate only in specific directions along thin slabs of a natural anisotropic 2D material, molybdenum trioxide. The current work is the beginning of a series of studies that will be focused on directional control and manipulation of light using ultralow-loss polaritons at the nanoscale.

PCO-TECH Inc. - pco.edge 4.2 bi: Back Illuminated sCMOS pco.edge 4.2 bi: Back Illuminated sCMOS

PCO-TECH Inc.
Innovations aren’t always about having that one big new idea. Unique technology also comes from evolution, combining existing and new technology. When PCO’s tried and trusted pco.edge series pools forces with modern back illuminated (bi) 16 bit sCMOS sensor technology, we call the result: pco.edge 4.2 bi.

Compact Metadevices for Flat Optical Components
Compact Metadevices for Flat Optical Components
Wed, Nov 7, 2018 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This webinar will discuss inverse-design methods for creating compact metadevices and the use of additive manufacturing for making thin optical components. Professor Koray Aydin will describe his lab's platform for combining inverse electromagnetic design algorithms with additive manufacturing to fabricate millimeter-wave metadevices. Aydin will further show how this platform can be applied to the design and fabrication of electromagnetic and photonic metadevices spanning microwave to optical frequencies. This webinar is sponsored by Knight Optical.
