Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Year Produced | 2016 |
| Impact | engagement with the public |
| 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 |
