BBC News article on flat lenses

Our work on flat lenses was recently highlighted in a BBC news article available here. Its exciting to see all the fantastic work on flat optics around the world!

Ruipeng & Soren’s work in feature issue.

• 

  OSA’s applied optics recently published a feature issue on “Unconventional Imaging,” which included our demonstration of a camera made up of a glass needle! Paper is freely available here.

Seminar today by Prof. Vivishek Suhdir!

Prof. Sudhir (ME, MIT) will present the ECE seminar today at 3pm MT titled “Quantum mechanics up to the human-scale.” It is open to the public and should be accessible to a wide audience. Zoom info here.
Abstract: Why do human-scale objects apparently not follow the rules of quantum physics? And yet, we believe that quantum mechanics is the correct underlying description of nature. I will address this discrepancy through a series of experiments done in collaboration with my colleagues and group members. These experiments show that objects weighing as much as 10 kg can be realized in quantum states; that, one can directly observe the consequence of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle on nano-scale objects; that the act of measurement not only changes the subject of the measurement, but also the state of the apparatus used; and that atomic vibrations in everyday objects can be prepared in non-classical and entangled states at ambient conditions.

Apratim appointed Research Assistant Professor & awarded a Seed grant!

Apratim Majumder was recently appointed Research Assistant Professor in our Dept. and was also awarded a College of Engineering seed grant to study tunable flat lenses. Congratulations!

Top downloaded papers in OSA Continuum

Two papers from our lab were highlighted as the most downloaded papers in February in OSA Continuum. A paper led by Sourangsu Banerji describes the use of machine learning to design compact integrated photonics devices (open-access link). A second paper led by Monjurul Meem describes free-form visible broadband flat lenses (open-access link).These papers are freely available online.

OSA selects our flat lens tech for Optics in 2020 issue

Our work on flat lenses was selected by the OSA for their annual Optics in 2020 issue here. This is also highlighted by our COE here.
