Title: Atomic Layer Deposition and Etching: From surface science to surface engineering Abstract: Atomically precise modification of surfaces and interfaces lead to improved understanding and significant enhancements in properties and performance of complex, heterogenous material systems. This talk highlights the impact of few monolayer films fabricated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE) on a variety of …
CREOL CalendarTitle: Light manipulation using multilayered transition metal dichalcogenides Abstract: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as a promising platform for photonic applications due to their strong light-exciton interactions. However, while TMD monolayers have been extensively studied, multilayered TMDs have received less attention due to their transition to an indirect bandgap. In this seminar, I will discuss the recent research advancements …
CREOL CalendarTitle: Advancing the next generation of photonic systems using machine learning Abstract: The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics underscores the growing influence of machine learning in diverse areas of physical science. In the field of photonics, machine learning is proving invaluable for tasks such as optimizing and designing fiber-optical communication systems, optical amplifiers, noise characterization of frequency combs, inverse design of …
CREOL CalendarTitle: Optics à la mode – a new way of making, using and understanding optics Abstract: Modern micro and nano fabrication now let us make complex and highly functional optics. Examples include sophisticated metasurfaces and highly programmable and even self-configuring silicon photonic interferometer meshes, with many potential applications in areas such as imaging, sensing and communications. Such systems are, however, …
