Imaging Seminar: Meta Devices for Photonics and Quantum

Abstract: 

Specially designed meta-structure components can mass-produce artificial nano-array structures through semiconductor microelectronics fabrication procedures, and can manipulate the phase, polarization, and amplitude of electromagnetic waves. Meta-devices can meet a variety of current urgent needs, such as novel functions, lightweight, small size, higher efficiency, better performance, broadband operation, lower energy consumption, compatibility with semiconductor mass processing technology, etc. This talk reports on the design, manufacturing and novel applications of optical meta-devices, such as achromatic meta-lens, advanced imaging, intelligent sensing, nonlinear generation of vacuum ultraviolet light, medical and biological imaging, 6G communications, tunable meta-structures, high-dimensional quantum light source, etc. We believe that meta-devices have opened up a new avenue for future developments of next-generation devices in fields such as micro-robotic vision, autonomous driving, vehicle sensors, virtual and augmented reality, personal miniature security systems, bio-medical devices, advanced medical care, and quantum information technology, etc.
