Next Physics Colloquium

The physics of nano photonics structures

Professor Shanhui Fan
Stanford University

3:00 pm Monday, 2nd April 2012

Abstract: Nanophotonic structures, where the minimum feature sizes of the structures are below a single wavelength or at a deep sub wavelength scale, fundamentally influence the properties of light, and open new opportunities in controlling light-matter interactions. In this talk, we will review some of recent efforts in understanding some of the novel optical physics enabled by nanophotonic structures, as well as applications in areas such as thermal control or energy harvesting.
