Title: Shaping the spectrum of light with time-variant nanostructures
Maxim Shcherbakov, Cornell University
Abstract:
Nanotechnology offers ways to sculpt matter, enabling novel optical materials that are not readily available in nature. While nanostructures’ properties are in most cases predefined by fabrication, temporal modulation can be leveraged as an additional degree of freedom for light control. In this talk, we will discuss several intriguing implications of time variance in designer nanostructures, such as photon acceleration and overcoming the time-bandwidth limit in photonics. The talk will conclude with the first experimental demonstration of broadband negative optical extinction and outline the potential applications of time-variant nanostructures in attoscience and quantum computing.
Bio:
Maxim Shcherbakov is a postdoctoral associate with the School of Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell. He received his PhD in Physics from Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia. As a deputy group leader at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, his research was focused on wearable electronics, remote sensing and LiDARs. In 2016, he joined Cornell, where his main interests are in artificial optical materials and their applications in nonlinear optics and attoscience, and devices for augmented and mixed reality. He is a recipient of several prestigious awards, including SPIE Scholarship and Moscow Government Young Scientist award.
Event is free and open to the public.
Light refreshments available shortly before seminar.
