Abstract:

This seminar will focus on three lines of research into nanophotonics, representing three time scales of the processes involved. It will begin with the first experimental observation of a chiroptical effect that had been predicted 40 years ago.[1,2] Next, it will consider the smallest backjets (‘nanojets’) ever created and will discuss how they can serve to assemble novel metamaterials.[3,4] Finally, drawing inspiration from steampunk science fiction, it will illustrate how a vapour stabilization technique can greatly enhance quantum sensors.[5]
