Semiconductor Metasurfaces in Strong Optical Fields
Hosted By: Short Wavelength Sources and Attosecond/High Field Physics Technical Group
11 January 2023 13:00 - 14:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)Enabled by designer local field patterns and electromagnetic modes, photonic metasurfaces have provided unprecedented control over light wave propagation. In ultrastrong optical fields, and on the femtosecond timescale, these artificial structures enable new ways to enhance and tailor non-perturbative light-matter interactions on demand.
In this webinar hosted by the Short Wavelength Sources and Attosecond/High Field Physics, Maxim Shcherbakov will summarize recent developments in the strong-field regime in semiconductor (Si, Ge, GaAs, GaP) metasurfaces. Dr. Shcherbakov also will discuss the high-efficiency optical harmonic generation and ultrafast all-optical switching, with an outlook toward novel optoelectronic devices and material platforms.
Subject Matter Level: Intermediate - Assumes basic knowledge of the topic
What You Will Learn:
• How light interacts with nanostructures in the strong-field regime
• How to use tailored resonator design to enable efficient high harmonic generation and nano machining
Who Should Attend:
• Graduate students working in the field of ultrafast laser physics and engineering
• Undergraduate students who want to learn more about strong-field nanophotonics
• Faculty who would be interested in joint collaborations in semiconductor metaphotonics
