Meta-optics for virtual reality
News
Recent breakthroughs in virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies have not only attracted much attention from the scientific and industrial communities but have also piqued the interest of the general public. However, the widespread use of VR...
Professor Capasso named as a 2023 Citation Laureate
News
On September 19, 2023, Clarivate named 23 researchers, including Professor Capasso, as Citation Laureates. These researchers have been identified as achieving Nobel-worthy research and Clarivate has successfully identified 71 Nobel Laureates prior to...
Arbitrary polarization conversion using metasurfaces with angle-tunable-birefringence
News
In this work, we demonstrate a freeform metasurface with novel birefringent properties. Traditionally, birefringence is considered as an intrinsic material property and its behavior typically limited to what is known as linear birefringence. In this work...
Using resonances as synthetic helicity for optical manipulation
News
Research on spin-orbit interactions in evanescent fields is crucial as it could revolutionize particle manipulation using light. This research, led by Dr Jinsheng Lu and published in Physical Review Letters, has uncovered a new kind of optical force that...
Ahmed Dorrah wins the 2023 Optica Foundation Challenge
News
Dr. Dorrah has received a $100,000 grant from the Optica Foundation for his proposed work entitled: “Structured light generation and sensing with metasurfaces for THz communications”. Ahmed is one of 10 recipients of the award, which provides seed money...
Inverse-designed cm-scale achromatic polarization-insensitive metalens
News
Current achromatic metalenses are typically small and bounded to tens to hundreds of micrometers in diameter – the size of a few pollen grains in a row. In this study, we demonstrate a high throughput inverse design framework that is able to design large...
A new principle of optical trapping leveraging the polarization gradient
News
We present new principles underlying optical trapping and manipulation techniques by introducing an additional degree of freedom: the polarization gradient found in evanescent fields. These evanescent fields are common at the micro and nano-scales. When...
A new class of optical resonators
News
Resonators are important components used in various fields of Optics. Our research introduces a new type of optical resonator that has unique characteristics compared to traditional ones like Fabry-Perot cavities. We invented a new process called...
Metalenz reveals plans for revolutionizing consumer electronics with flat optics
News
Metalenz, Inc., a startup spun-off from the Capasso group, has revealed its plans for revolutionizing consumer electronics by large-scale fabrication of flat optics to replace conventional lenses. Metalenz has received $10 million in investment from...
Frequency combs, quantum cascade lasers, and RF photonics
Page
Go to Publications to view all journal articles. Introduction Frequency combs are widely-used, high-precision tools for measuring and detecting different frequencies — a.k.a. colors — of light. Unlike conventional lasers, which emit a single frequency...
