Columbia Engineering researchers have taken another step toward shrinking quantum hardware. The team has created an ultrathin metasurface device that boosts nonlinear optical effects at the nanoscale.

Abstract: There have been many researches on nonlinear metasurface in recent years. The advantages of lithium niobate are its transparency in the near infrared range as well as high nonlinear ...

Metasurfaces are two-dimensional (2D), nanoengineered surfaces that interact strongly with electromagnetic waves and can control light with remarkable precision. These ultra-thin layers can be used to ...

A new single-layer chiral metasurface detects circularly polarized light efficiently, offering a compact, high-performance alternative to bulky optical systems. (Nanowerk News) Detecting circularly ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

The debate about AI’s impact on consulting tends to swing between two extremes: Some argue that AI will render consultants obsolete; others claim it will only make them more indispensable. Both views ...

Introduction: As an artificial two-dimensional material, metasurfaces are essential for modifying the fundamental characteristics of electromagnetic (EM) waves. Numerous researchers have created and ...
