Course details

The course offers a comprehensive introduction to the three key pillars of future photonic technologies, namely nanophotonics, plasmonics, and metamaterials, covering both their fundamental concepts and recent advancements. It discusses the basic and applied aspects of nanophotonics, focusing on the control, guidance, and manipulation of electromagnetic radiation at the nanoscale. The course begins with the principles of photonic crystals, metal optics, and surface plasmon resonance along with their applications. It then moves on to metamaterials and metasurfaces, explaining their fundamentals and a wide range of applications such as tunable devices, absorbers, hyperlenses, superlenses, beam steering, cloaking, and transformation optics. In addition, the course introduces alternative materials used in nanophotonics and provides an overview of various fabrication techniques for nanophotonic devices.
