IEEE Distinguished Lecturer: Zetian Mi-Ultraviolet Optoelectronics for a Better Living
Abstract: Infectious diseases and water are some of the greatest, most urgent challenges of the 21st century. III-nitride ultraviolet (UV) light sources, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, are the only alternative technology to replace conventional power-hungry, hazardous mercury lamps…
CREOL Spring Colloquium Series: Nader Engheta - Structuring Light with Extreme Metamaterials
Abstract: Materials are often used to manipulate waves. Metamaterials have provided far-reaching possibilities in achieving “extremes” in such wave-matter interaction. Various exciting functionalities have been achieved in exploiting metamaterials and metasurfaces in nanophotonics and nano-optics. We have been exploring how…
CREOL Spring Colloquium Series: Oren Cohen- New (chiral) light on nonlinear laser spectroscopy
Abstract: Selection rules in nonlinear optics determine which radiation modes are allowed/forbidden in nonlinear processes. Traditionally, the theory accounts for symmetries of the medium only. I will first present a more general theory in which the selection rules are derived…
Seminar: IEEE Distinguished Lecturer: Breaking the bounds of imaging in label-free nanoscopy, micro-endoscopy and ophthalmology
Abstract: Imaging systems, as well as human vision systems, have limited capability for separation of spatial features and this information can also be extracted only from depth limited range. The reasons for the resolution and depth of focus limitations are…
CREOL Spring Colloquium Series: Michelle Sander - Ultrafast thulium fiber laser dynamics and label-free vibrational photothermal microscopy
Abstract: The longer wavelengths associated with infrared light are particularly attractive to identify and characterize molecules based on their chemical composition. In this talk, some novel fiber laser development trends will be combined with applications of mid-infrared spectroscopy and imaging.…
