Dr. Giuseppe Strangi (Case Western Reserve University) Thin-Film Photonics: Enabling Fano Resonances and Optomechanics Abstract – In recent years, significant interest has emerged in the inverse design1 of artificial layered heterostructures for photonic applications2. Specifically, the unique optical properties of near-zero permittivity (ENZ) metamaterials have enabled the exploration of novel physical effects and mechanisms. In

Dr. Jacob Khurgin (Johns Hopkins University) Coherent Frequency Combs in Mid-Infrared and THz Produced By Self Frequency Modulated Quantum Cascade Lasers For many applications Optical Frequency Combs (OFCs) require a high degree of temporal coherence and thus narrow linewidth1 as well as wide bandwidth (i.e. many spectral lines.  Commonly OFCs are generated in some nonlinear

Dr. Marc Serra Garcia (AMOLF) Physical computing in metamaterials Abstract - There is a significant range of physical phenomena—from nonlinear elasticity, to symmetry, noise, topology, and disorder — that are rarely utilized in traditional computing paradigms. Yet these phenomena can unlock new efficiencies, by directly processing signals in their natural domain, and by bypassing the
