Tutorials & Instructors

 


Vladimir Shalaev
  

Tutorial 1: "Quantum Meta-Photonics"

Prof. Vladimir Shalaev, Purdue University, USA

Tutorial length: 1 hour

Description: We discuss important challenges in the emerging quantum technology and possible means to address them with ultrafast plasmonic metamaterials, scalable photonic material platforms and advanced machine-learning designs.

Tutorial 2: The Road from Resonant Metamaterials to Metadevices

Prof. Mark Brongersma, Stanford University, USA

Tutorial length: 1 hour

Description: In this tutorial, I will illustrate how 2-dimensional (2D) metamaterials can be created from optically-resonant nanostructures made from semiconductor, metallic, and 2D quantum materials. The resulting metafilms and metasurfaces are ideal building blocks for optoelectronic devices that are commonly constructed from continuous layers of metal and semiconductor. The use of nanostructured metamaterials opens opportunities to dramatically modify the optical emission, transmission, absorption, reflection, and refraction properties of continuous films. For this reason, we can now create a new class of optoelectronic devices that offer an improved performance and allow for new functionalities.
