Nanophotonics for tailoring radiation from fast electrons

Nanophotonic methods provide intriguing options for manipulating scintillation phenomena. We will outline recent developments in this domain, along with our theoretical framework for modeling these occurrences, supported by our experimental findings. Additionally, Smith-Purcell radiation, characterized by fast electrons interacting with nano-structured materials to produce light, offers a broad spectrum of possibilities for creation of novel light sources. We will discuss our new theoretical framework designed to comprehend and tailor such phenomena, as well as our techniques for boosting Smith-Purcell radiation.

Multilevel reconfigurable nanophotonics with low-loss phase-change materials

Phase change materials (PCMs) are currently revolutionizing nanophotonics by providing ways to tune and reconfigure optical functionalities without any moving parts. Building on this phenomenon, the last decade has witnessed many exciting reports of novel devices exploiting PCMs such as for example beam-steering, tunable light emission, reflection and absorption, programmable metasurfaces and reconfigurable neural networks.

High performance photonic devices based on photonic crystal bimodal interferometers

A presentation by the invited speaker Jaime Garcia Rupérez, Nanophotonics Technology Center UPV (Spain). The Nanophotonics Technology Center (NTC), placed at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) campus, was created on 2005 to become a leading R&D center in nanophotonic science and technology. Our main mission is to place the NTC at the forefront of the knowledge in fundamental nanophotonic science as well as to use this knowledge to build novel materials, devices and systems for a wide range of applications.
