Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)Metasurfaces are artificial optical interfaces designed to control the phase, the amplitude and the polarization of an optical wavefront. These optical surfaces rely on the coherent scattering of light by a sizable distribution of nano-scatterers of various shapes and material compositions. Metasurfaces hold great potential for on-chip integration of photonic components, significantly promoting the development of miniaturized optoelectronic systems.
The Genevet group is working on the physics of Metasurfaces and their applications for directional light collection, emission, and LiDARs. The group recently pioneered disruptive research on the developments in topological and tunable nanophotonic systems. In this webinar hosted by the Optoelectronics Technical Group, Patrice Genevet will give a tutorial presentation of recent activities in this field. Dr. Genevet will also present the latest results on metasurface LiDAR technology and integrated laser wavefront manipulation.
