HQOC/ITAMP Joint Quantum Sciences Seminar Wednesday, April 9, 2014, 4:00 PM, Jefferson 250 Prof. Federico Capasso, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University Flat Optics with Metasurfaces Artificial structuring of metal-dielectric surfaces at the sub-wavelength scale provides great flexibility in designing the wavefront of scattered light and the propagation of surface waves through local control of amplitude, phase and polarization, leading to a rich variety of phenomena and to a new class of photonic components. Student Presentation by J. Balthasar Mueller, Capasso Group Asymmetric surface plasmon polarition emission by a dipole emitter near a metal surface Student Presentation begins at 4:00 PM Refreshments are served between 4:10-4:30 PM Guest Presentation begins at 4:30 PM Joan Hamilton Faculty Assistant to Profs.
