Vanderbilt Prize for Undergraduate Research in Physics and Astronomy.
A hardy congratulations to Gim Seng, and a great start for his graduate years at Harvard!
Wesleyan Physics Department Colloquium - April 3rd
"Active Photonic nanomaterials: from disordered to periodic structures"
Prof. Hui Cao, Yale University
Active photonic nanomaterials, which have high gain or large
nonlinearity, are essential to the development of nanophotonic devices
and circuits. In this talk, I will provide a review of our recent
research activities related to the fabrication of active photonic
nanomaterials and the development of photonic devices based on such
materials. In particular, we focus on a wide bandgap semiconductor zinc
oxide and fabricate a broad range of structures, from disordered to
periodic, with various nanofabrication techniques. Lasing in the
near-ultraviolet frequency has been realized in both periodic and random
structures at room temperature under optical pumping.
