Metasurfaces enable the manipulation of far-field optical fields while offering new ways to control and tailor local field distributions and intensities – the basis for the manipulation of the loca

The increase in demand for computation and the associated energy spending have been motivating the exploration of photonic analog computing schemes, to exploiting their

We demonstrate several different material platformsfor the realization of metasurfaces, with emphasis on different mechanisms for theimplementation of tunable metasurfaces, ranging from refractive

Complex oxides display a remarkable array of functionalities crucial to advanced electronics, energy, and information technologies, including ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, and pyroelectricity

For too long the functionality of optical devices and systems has been severely restricted by the very limited range of refractive indices at the disposal of designers.

Recent years have seen an increase of interest in developing nano-scale sources of coherent radiation.

Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), often regarded as artificial atoms, have reached an exceptional level of synthetic control and fundamental understanding—particularly regarding their siz

I will present recent theoretical and experimental results on: (i) subwavelength high-intensity vortices around ‘holes’ or ‘islands’ in 2D wave systems: from surface polaritons to ocean waves, (ii)
