Spinoptics in Nanoscale Structures

Colloquium | November 19 | 4:15-5:30 p.m. | LeConte Hall, Room #1

Speaker: Erez Hasman, Associate Professor of Optical Engineering, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology

Sponsor: Department of Physics

Spin-symmetry breaking in nanoscale structures caused by spin-orbit interaction, leading to a new branch inoptics – spinoptics is presented. The spin-based effects offer an unprecedented ability to control light and its polarization state in nanometer-scale optical devices, thereby facilitating a variety of applications related to nano-photonics. The direct observation of optical Rashba effect from spinoptical metamaterials consisting of nanoantennas is introduced. The observed spin split dispersion arises from the inversion symmetry violation in the lattice.

Target audiences: Faculty, Students - Graduate
