[Photonics Seminar] Plasmonic Super Resolution Imaging

Prof. Zhaowei Liu, UCSDAbstract:
The imaging resolution of conventional optical lens system is limited by the diffraction to a few hundreds of nanometers. Emerging artificially engineered plasmonic metamaterials offer a new possibility to build superlenses that overcome such a limit. In this talk I will review some of our work on the far-field superlens (FSL) and optical hyperlens that are able to transfer super resolution image to the far field. Other plasmonic based techniques such as plasmonic structured illumination microscopy (PSIM), plasmonic dark field (PDF) microscopy will also be discussed.Bio:
Zhaowei Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UCSD. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MEMS/Nanotechnology) from UCLA in 2006, and was subsequently a postdoctoral researcher in NSF Nanoscale Science & Engineering Center (NSEC) and Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley. In 2008 he joined the faculty at UCSD. His research is primarily in the fields of nanophotonics, super-resolution imaging and sensing, metamaterials, plasmonics, and micro/nanofabrication. He is a recipient of the 2010 SME Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award.Host: Prof. Michelle Povinelli
