Speaker: Patrice Genevet
Abstract: A novel class of planar and wavelength-thick optical components exhibiting exceptional optical properties have emerged in recent years. These artificial interfaces, known as metasurfaces, can manipulate the wavefront of light in almost any desired manner, leveraging on the scattering properties of the subwavelength nanostructures. Currently, this technology (named MetaOptics) is creating new application opportunities. This presentation will give a tutorial introduction to the basic principle of MetaOptics and a brief summary on a few applications.
About the speaker: Patrice Genevet was post doc at SEAS-Harvard University in Capasso's group. Then he got a position at A∗STAR-Institute Singapore and now he is at CHREA-CNRS Sophia Antipolis. His research activities concern the development of optical metamaterials, metasurfaces and their applications. He is the recipient of the 2017 Aimé-Cotton Price, the ERC starting Grant 2015 and the 2019 ERC proof of Concept.
