Title | Film on Nanophotonics and hyperuniform photonics materials |
Description | Together with Dr. Marian Florescu, Surrey University, we have made a short video about nano photonics and hyperuniform photonics materials, which is almost complete |
Type Of Art | Film/Video/Animation |
Year Produced | 2017 |
Impact | not complete yet |
Description | We discovered that a hyperuniform metasurface controls light scattering and fluorescence forcing a ring-like emission. We have now developed a new spectroscopy technique, by cathodoluminescence to study the hyperuniform structures. (please see EP/M027961/1) More recently we have developed a new kind of network laser coming from the study of hyperunifrom network lasing |
Exploitation Route | Metasurfaces are very important to control the light propagation and emission, especially for next generation integrated and ultra-thin optical elements (please see EP/M027961/1). New kind of integrated laser could be very important for future information technologies |
