Enhanced Light-Matter Interactions in Complex Photonic Systems Mentor: Andrea Alù Abstract Interactions 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
The Effects of Nanoconfined Liquid Properties on the Water-Responsive Behavior of Bacterial Cell Walls Abstract: Water-responsive (WR) materials have the ability to mechanically swell and shrink in response to changes in relative humidity (RH). These WR materials are used by many biological systems to perform essential tasks; for example, pinecones use WR materials to
Terahertz probes of quantum matter: from pairing symmetry to high harmonics Quantum 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
Join us for an informative online workshop on Tuesday, November 19 at 2:00 pm on the application process for using facilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), BNL Center for Functional Nanomaterials and other synchrotron facilities. This workshop will be presented by Dr. Maya N. Nair, Research Assistant Professor and core facility staff at the Surface
Nonlinear Photonics in the Mid-Infrared and Terahertz Abstract – 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
