SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Spring 2024 Seminar Series: Prof. Zhi Ning Chen
DESCRIPTION:Zhi Ning Chen\nNational University of Singapore \nDate:\nFriday\, June 14\, 2024 \nTime:\n10:30am – 11:30am \nLocation:\n5th Fl. Data Viz Room \n\n\nPrior-knowledge Guided Machine-learning Enabled Metalens Antenna Design\nAbstract –  The design of antennas aims to meet the specific requirements of a system. This design relies on materials\, fabrication processes\, and design methodologies. Besides natural materials\, we have introduced metamaterials—artificially engineered structures that exhibit unique electromagnetic properties not found in nature—to expand the boundaries of antenna design. Furthermore\, we have explored new design methodologies to extend these boundaries. \nTraditionally\, antenna design begins with basic designs\, which are then modified or optimized to meet the specifications. However\, this approach has limitations in achieving optimal performance due to constrained degrees of freedom (DoF). These limitations arise from physical constraints such as volume restrictions and feeding structures\, as well as restricted design space regarding the selection of viable structures or parameters in the design process. Therefore\, deep learning algorithms are being utilized to significantly increase the degrees of freedom (DoF) in antenna design. This will expand the antenna design space and hold promise for enhancing antenna performance. \nThis talk will focus on outlining innovative approaches to antenna design. Specifically\, it will explore the prior-knowledge-guided deep learning-enabled synthesis method and demonstrate its utility in enhancing the performance of metacells and metalens antennas. \nBio – Professor Zhi Ning Chen got his two PhD degrees in China in 1993 and in Japan in 2003\, respectively. Currently\, Dr Chen is working as a Provost Chair Professor of Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, National University of Singapore. He is serving as Director of Advanced Research and Technology Innovation Center (ARTIC) of College of Design and Engineering\, National University of Singapore. He elevated Fellow of the Academy of Engineering\, Singapore in 2019\, Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (Fellow of IEEE) in 2007\, Fellow and Vice President of Asia and Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association in 2021\, and Fellow of Chinese Institute of Communications 2023. He is the recipient of IEEE AP-S John Kraus Antenna Award (2021). He has published 710 papers\, 7 books\, and 34 patents. He has been the founding general chairs of IEEE International Workshop of Antenna Technology (iWAT in 2005)\, IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation (APCAP in 2012)\, Marina-Forum (Mar-For in 2021) and two important technical conferences. \nThis is an in-person seminar.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Michael Scalora
DESCRIPTION:Light-Matter Interactions at the Nanoscale: Harmonic Generation from Metal/Vacuum Interfaces and Novel Aspects of Radiation Reaction \nAbstract – In noble metals a patina of free electrons extends out into free space and vanishes within a fraction of an atomic diameter. We discuss the possibility and consequences of the existence of such a free electron layer\, acting as an epsilon-near-zero medium. Just as classical macroscopic electrodynamics cannot discern either individual atoms or field fluctuations between atoms\, it is similarly unable of discriminating the rapid decay of the free electron spill-out density within a distance that is less than an atomic diameter. The best one can do is treat the boundary as a layer of free charge density having thickness equal to a single spatial discretization step of unknown average density\, equivalent to a delta-function. Under these conditions we predict that if this boundary layer exists it will display enhanced pump absorption and decreased nonlinear thresholds. Finally\, we will discuss a new formulation of radiation reaction that supplants the Abraham-Lorenz classical theory and applies to non-relativistic electrons of finite size. The introduction of an explicit reaction force in the Newtonian equation of motion leads to a new hydrodynamic equation that offers novel insight on the influence of damping in generic plasmas\, metal-based and dielectric nanostructures. \nBio – Michael Scalora received a B.S. degree in physics from Montclair State College\, Montclair\, NJ\, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\, Troy\, NY.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Guancong Ma
DESCRIPTION:Non-Abelian Braiding with Sound and Light\nAbstract – Many physics laws and mathematical rules are insensitive to order. For example\, the addition of numbers disregards the sequence order\, e.g.\, 1+2+3=3+1+2. However\, such a commutative property does not always hold. When the outcomes of a set of operations depend on the execution order\, they can become “non-Abelian.” In the 20th century\, non-Abelian mathematical frameworks have played profound roles in formulating many fundamental laws of modern physics. Famous examples include the classification of hadrons and the unification of electro-weak interactions. Classical physics\, such as mechanics\, electromagnetism\, and optics\, were well established before non-Abelian theories came into play. However\, this does not mean non-Abelian effects are absent in the classical world. One prominent example is a Rubik’s Cube—the moves made on the cube do not always commute: two sequential moves done in different orders do not necessarily get the color palettes to the same layout. We then ask: how and when non-Abelian phenomena arise in classical waves? Delving into this question\, our recent works leverage Berry-phase matrices\, which capture the adiabatic evolution of multiple states\, to realize non-Abelian braiding in acoustics [1] and photonics [2]. Here\, the braiding operations are implemented using coupled waveguide arrays\, which are adiabatically modulated along the guiding direction to enforce a multi-state Berry-phase matrix that swaps the modal dwell sites. The evolution of the guiding modes maps to the generators of braid groups. The non-Abelian characteristics are revealed by switching the order of two distinct braiding operations involving at least three modes. Our results offer new perspectives in exploring novel wave-controlling schemes for future technological applications [3]. \n[1] Z.-G. Chen\, R.-Y. Zhang\, C. T. Chan\, and G.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Jonathan Pelliciari
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored with CCNY. \nUsing Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering to study quantum materials \nAbstract – Modern light sources like the NSLS-II at Brookhaven National Lab deliver bright tunable photons in a wide range of energies from the THz regime up to 100 keV. This allowed the development of scattering techniques relying on the use of atomic resonances enabling the access to the electronic degrees of freedom in materials. Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (RIXS) is one of these techniques and thanks to the massive development in instrumentation and theory is playing a significant role in the study of quantum materials with contributions in multiple fields such as superconductivity\, quantum magnetism\, 2D materials\, and lately single photon emission. The sensitivity of RIXS to bosonic excitations of different nature (spin\, orbital\, lattice\, and charge) can provide microscopic information on materials as a function of energy and momentum. In my seminar I will start by introducing RIXS its capabilities and limitations\, followed by a description of the experimental components needed to perform high-resolution RIXS and the solution that we developed at BNL. I will then move forward by highlighting three scientific cases in different fields. The first will involve our investigations on superconducting infinite layer nickelates where we studied the evolution of the spin dynamics across the superconducting dome akin to past studies on the cuprates. The second case regards the study of quantum emitters in hBN where in collaboration with CUNY we could unveil vibronic states and connect them to the signals detected in photoluminescence possibly identifying N2 molecular vibrations as the key for the emergence of quantum emission. Finally\, I will conclude by highlighting one of our studies on excitons in 2D van der Waals magnets where we could detect their nature\, evolution as a function of charge transfer energy (and hybridization)\, and their dispersion in momentum space. \n[1] Ament et al.\, Rev.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Yakir Hadad
DESCRIPTION:Exact formulation of the mutual particle-cavity dynamics and its use for the study of loss threshold phenomenon under magnetization\nAbstract – Light-matter interaction plays a pivotal role in pushing forward nanotechnology. A particularly important setup involves a resonating particle\, say an emitting molecule or a macroscopic quasi-statically resonating plasmonic or ferromagnetic sphere\, that is located inside a cavity. \nIn this work\, we provide an analytic formulation for the exact calculation of the mutual dynamics between a resonant particle and a rectangular cavity in which it is located. The particle is assumed to be small on the wavelength\, and thus\, its excitation is dominated by a dipolar response that can be described using the discrete dipole approximation and polarizability theory.  The dipolar response depends on the particle’s polarizability function which encapsulates the particle’s materials and geometry\, and on the local field acting on the particle. In principle\, the latter is nothing more than the backscattering of the particle field by the cavity walls.  However\, its derivation may be challenging since it involves a three-dimensional singularity subtraction of the Green’s function in the cavity and the Green’s function in the free space that are differently represented. In this work\, we discuss the use of a recursive ladder-type process involving alternative Green’s function representations to calculate the local field in a computationally efficient and numerically stable manner. Using this approach\, we solve exactly several strongly coupled particle-cavity systems and calculate the collective resonance frequencies of the system. \nAs a particularly interesting example\, we focus on the case when the plasmonic particle is subject to a static magnetic field\,  . In this case\, its gyrotropic response gives rise to non-reciprocal dynamics of the ambient surroundings.  This dynamics depends on the particle’s excitation\, which in turn depends on the gyrotropic material damping rate  . Thus\, intuitively speaking\, the heavier the gyrotropic material loss is\, the weaker the non-reciprocal response will be. This is indeed the case when the particle is located in free space. However\, when the gyrotropic particle is placed inside a cavity\, we show that the non-reciprocity measure is robust against material loss up to a specific loss threshold\,  that depends on the magnetic biasing . \nBio – Dr. Yakir Hadad received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees (summa cum laude) in electrical and computer engineering from the Ben Gurion University of the Negev\, Be’er Sheva\, Israel\, in 2006 and 2008\, respectively\, and the Ph.D. degree in physical electronics from Tel Aviv University\, Tel Aviv\, Israel\, in 2014.\,From 2015 to 2017\, he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, The University of Texas at Austin\, Austin\, TX\, USA.

SUMMARY:Thesis Defense: Shixiong Yin
DESCRIPTION:Enhanced Light-Matter Interactions in Complex Photonic Systems \nMentor: Andrea Alù \nAbstract  \nInteractions between light and matter are fundamental to breakthroughs in lasers\, sensing\, imaging\, spectroscopy\, energy harvesting\, and quantum information processing. As a result\, significant recent efforts have been geared towards enhancing and controlling light-matter interactions to advance these applications and technologies. Complex engineered photonic systems\, often involving nanoscale designs of photonic components\, have provided fertile grounds to manipulate light unprecedentedly\, achieving extreme control over interactions among photons and between light and matter. In this dissertation\, we exploit four types of complexity to enhance light-matter and light-light interactions in various photonic platforms. \nFirst\, we start by tailoring the spatial complexity in photonic designs\, which can stimulate unusual light interactions with plasmonic materials. In a one-dimensional metamaterial\, i.e.\, an artificially engineered periodic structure\, we show that perturbing the discrete translational symmetry can induce a topological knot in reciprocal space. It enables strong nonlocal coupling between a dark mode and a brighter surface mode\, which offers new opportunities for efficient sensing and Raman scattering. \nIntroducing complexity in the material constituents together with deliberate spatial designs\, we further explore how nonlinearities in metamaterials unleash novel forms of controlling light emission\, leveraging strongly enhanced interactions with light. Besides\, blending different types of materials can also push the limits of complex photonic designs. We design an ultrasmall nanocavity hybridizing two distinct materials — a high-index dielectric encapsulated by the low-loss metal\, demonstrating record-high Purcell enhancement. The proposed hybridized nanocavity is expected to enhance quantum emission and strong coupling substantially. \nAs another degree of freedom\, complexity can be introduced in the temporal dimension. Time variations in material properties provide a new knob for complex photonic designs. Among them\, time-interfaces\, realized by switching the properties of the entire medium in time\, introduce striking complexity in wave dynamics. In a transmission-line metamaterial\, we have observed time reflections at a photonic time interface and associated broadband and ultrafast frequency translation for the first time. Combining multiple time interfaces in the same platform\, we realize a passive photonic time crystal\, which holds the prospect of extreme interaction with light with zero energy cost\, inaccessible in either time-invariant or conventional time-varying systems. \nFinally\, we harness the complexity in the frequency domain. Complex spectral responses and modal patterns can arise in wave-chaotic systems. In this context\, we realize coherent control over photon-photon interactions in a chaotic photonic microcavity involving over a thousand optical modes. Efficient control of its radiation is further demonstrated via reflectionless scattering modes\, paving the way for efficient energy harvesting\, routing\, and conversion. \nZoom Meeting ID: 722 951 7086 Passcode: 2024 \nMembers of the doctoral faculty are invited to attend.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Bing Cheng
DESCRIPTION:Terahertz probes of quantum matter: from pairing symmetry to high harmonics\nQuantum materials often harbor emergent orders and phases that reveal themselves at low-energy scales\, around 1 to 10 meV. To investigate these collective behaviors\, we turn to the terahertz energy regime—a crucial window for probing and controlling quantum phenomena. In this talk\, I will present our latest breakthroughs in unraveling the superconducting gap structure of the newly discovered unconventional nickelate superconductors— a topic that has sparked intense debate and remains unresolved. Using both linear and nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy\, we uncovered multiple evidence to demonstrate a cuprate-like d-wave gap structure in nickelate superconductors\, providing key insights to steer future research in this field. Expanding beyond understanding\, I will broaden the discussion to the manipulation of quantum materials through light. I will show how we harness intense terahertz pulses to drive the electronic structure of a Dirac semimetal\, leading to the observation of record-breaking terahertz high harmonics. Our findings position topological materials as promising platforms for delving into high harmonic generation and strong-field physics. \nBrief Bio: Bing Cheng earned his Ph.D. in Johns Hopkins University in Sep 2019. Then he moved to Stanford\, and Ames National Lab\, working as a postdoc researcher. At present\, He is working as a research fellow in Prof. Mengkun Liu’s group at Stony Brook University. His research mainly focuses on discovering and understanding exotic quantum phases of matter using a suite of terahertz optics

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: David Burghoff
DESCRIPTION:Nonlinear Photonics in the Mid-Infrared and Terahertz\nAbstract – Optical sensing at long wavelengths presents significant opportunities and significant challenges. The longwave infrared and terahertz ranges are renowned for their potential to sense molecules in a variety of contexts\, such as high-speed chemical imaging\, disease detection\, and environmental monitoring; however\, their promise has yet to be fulfilled due to a lack of compact broadband sources and low-loss integrated photonics platforms. The most important sensing challenges require extremely wideband sources to achieve specificity and selectivity\, but to date\, there are no technologies that are compact\, bright\, and broadband. \nI will discuss some of the work of my group that seeks to address this challenge. First\, I will discuss our development of quantum cascade laser-based frequency combs\, light sources that fill the gap between broadband incoherent sources and lasers. I will also discuss how our experimental investigations of these combs led to my discovery of a new fundamental comb state that manifests in almost any laser at any wavelength\, acting as the phase equivalent of passive modelocking [1]\, [2]. Next\, I will discuss our recent development of ultra-low-loss platforms for long wavelengths based on hybrid photonic integration\, which allowed us to create optical resonators in the longwave infrared with quality factors 100 times better than the state-of-the-art [3]\, [4]. This approach is fully wavelength-scalable and allows for the first efficient nonlinear optics at long wavelengths\, serving as a foundational element for future applications in quantum sensing. Finally\, I will discuss our development of ptychoscopy\, a new sensing modality that allows for ultra-precise measurements of optical spectra. This measurement enables the measurement of remote signals with quantum-limited frequency resolution over the entire bandwidth of a comb\, for the first time allowing incoherent spectra to be characterized with the precision techniques of combs [5]. \n[1] D.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Mu Wang
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mu Wang\nNational Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures\, School of Physics\, and Collaborative Innovation\nCenter of Advanced Microstructures\, Nanjing University\, Nanjing 210093\, China \nManipulating Light with Optical Metasurfaces: from Classical to Quantum\nAbstract – This talk focuses on the interaction of electromagnetic waves with metamaterials and manipulating the polarization state of light\, which are essential for on-chip photonics and quantum information processing. By designing a metasurface based on geometrical-scaling-induced phase modulations\, the transformation and distribution of different polarization-entangled photon pairs have been realized with multichannel dielectric metasurfaces. This is a significant development in applying metasurface to quantum networks. We also show a strategy to overcome the fundamental limit of polarization multiplexing capacity of metasurfaces by introducing the engineered noise to the precise solution of Jones matrix elements\, where the conventional restriction of polarization multiplexing roots from the dimension constraint of the Jones matrix. This approach implies a new paradigm for high-capacity optical display\, information encryption\, and data storage. As a practical application\, we also present a metasurface that achieves a matte appearance in reflection while offering broadband\, perfect transmission\, showcasing its potential for various optical technologies. \nReferences:\nY.J.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Yang Zhao & Yun-Sheng Chen
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Yang Zhao\nUniversity of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign \nImaging\, Sensing\, and Wearable Devices Using Nanophotonic Platforms\nAbstract – Personalized health emphasizes prevention and early diagnosis over solely tailoring therapies. My lab’s nanophotonic approaches center on developing precision tools to detect biomarkers\, imaging molecular interaction functions\, and designing sustainable wearable devices. In this talk\, I will highlight two research areas: ultrafast optical force nanoscopy and wearable metasurface sensors. I will introduce Decoupled Optical Force Nanoscopy (Dofn)\, a technique that addresses current limits in nanoparticle thermal profiling by enabling nanosecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolutions. Dofn also offers a non-invasive way to identify cell membrane molecules without purification. Next\, I will discuss wearable metasurface-enabled sensors for wireless charging of implanted devices. Tested on live animals\, this technology demonstrates a tenfold power enhancement\, enabling long-term tracking of brain activity. These innovations mark significant strides in wearable sensing for personalized health. \nBio – Yang Zhao is an assistant professor at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Focused ultrasound (FUS) offers an exciting solution by temporarily opening the BBB to allow targeted drug delivery. Yet\, understanding the safety and effectiveness of this approach remains a major challenge. Traditional brain imaging modalities fall short—they either lack the resolution or the sensitivity needed to monitor subtle changes in BBB permeability and the resulting hemodynamic responses. In this talk\, I’ll introduce a groundbreaking multimodality imaging approach: PAUL imaging. By integrating the molecular sensitivity of photoacoustic imaging with the microvascular detail of super-resolution ultrasound localization—and further enhancing it with deep learning—PAUL imaging delivers fast\, high-resolution insights into BBB permeability and cerebral hemodynamics. This powerful platform provides a transformative tool for advancing brain-drug delivery and uncovering the biological impacts of BBB modulation\, opening new avenues in the treatment of neurological disorders. \nBio – Yun-Sheng Chen is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)\, where he leads the Multimodality Imaging Research Laboratory.

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Levent Sevgi (IEEE DL lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Levent Sevgi\n\nIEEE AP-S Former DL – DLPC Chair\nITU – Istanbul Technical University (Emeritus) \nFrom Engineering Elecromagnetics to Electromagnetic Engineering:Teaching/Training Next Generations\nAbstract – The role of Electromagnetic (EM) fields in our lives has been increasing. Communication\, remote sensing\, integrated command/ control/surveillance systems\, intelligent transportation systems\, medicine\, environment\, education\, marketing\, and defense are only a few areas where EM fields have critical importance. We have witnessed the transformation from Engineering Electromagnetics to Electromagnetic Engineering for the last few decades after being surrounded by EM waves everywhere. Among many others\, EM engineering deals with broad range of problems from antenna design to EM scattering\, indoor–outdoor radiowave propagation to wireless communication\, radar systems to integrated surveillance\, subsurface imaging to novel materials\, EM compatibility to nano-systems\, electroacoustic devices to electro-optical systems\, etc. The range of the devices we use in our daily life has extended from DC up to Terahertz frequencies. We have had both large-scale (kilometers-wide) and small-scale (nanometers) EM systems. A large portion of these systems are broadband and digital and must operate in close proximity that results in severe EM interference problems. Engineers must take EM issues into account from the earliest possible design stages. This necessitates establishing an intelligent balance between strong mathematical background (theory)\, engineering experience (practice)\, and modeling and numerical computations (simulation). \nThis Distinguished/keynote lecture aims at a broad-brush look at current complex EM problems as well as certain teaching / training challenges that confront wave-oriented EM engineering in the 21st century\, in a complex computer and technology-driven world with rapidly shifting societal and technical priorities. \nBio – Prof. Dr. Levent Sevgi is a Fellow of the IEEE (since 2009) and the recipient of IEEE APS Chen-To Tai Distinguished Educator Award (2021).

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Seminar: Simo Pajovic
DESCRIPTION:Simo Pajovic\nDepartment of Mechanical Engineering\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology \nControlling Light-Matter Interactions in Novel Emitters:\nThermal Radiation\, Scintillation\, and Beyond\nAbstract – In mechanical engineering\, thermal radiation is the best-known example of light-matter interactions\, but non-thermal radiation is prevalent in a wide variety of applications\, including medical imaging\, manufacturing\, and sensing. Scintillation—the emission of light when a high-energy particle passes through a material—is of particular interest because of its high efficiency\, access to a wide spectral range\, and use in imaging and detection. This process can be modeled using fluctuational electrodynamics similarly to thermal radiation\, meaning they are analogous. In this talk\, I will describe my efforts during my PhD to advance both our fundamental understanding of and critical applications based on control of thermal radiation and scintillation. I will describe how we experimentally observed nonreciprocal reflection of mid-IR light in highly doped InAs at low magnetic fields (< 0.2 T) using both spectroscopic ellipsometry and FTIR. Our work demonstrates that nonreciprocity can be observed at low magnetic fields without coupling to resonant modes\, i.e.\, using a flat surface rather than a patterned surface designed to resonantly interact with light [1]. This advances our fundamental understanding of mid-IR nonreciprocity and has implications for sensing and efficiency of systems such as PV cells. Then\, I will shift gears to X-ray imaging\, where my focus has been on source-to-detector improvements using nanophotonics. First\, I will describe a strategy for increasing the operating power of X-ray tubes using “nanophotonic thermal management.” We theoretically predicted that nanophotonically patterning the anode of an X-ray tube can lead to a 1.25× enhancement in operating power (a proxy for X-ray generation) by enhancing radiative heat transfer between the anode and its surroundings. Second\, I will discuss steps we have taken toward improving the scalability of so-called “nanophotonic scintillators” for X-ray imaging. Using a nanophotonic scintillator with a lateral area of 4 cm × 4 cm\, we imaged a biologically relevant sample for the first time\, paving the way for clinical applications of nanophotonic scintillators [2]. \n[1] S.
