Had a great gathering with a part of the group at the welcome reception of the #Metamaterials2023 Congress!

A great collaboration in which we combine analytical modeling and AI to design metasurfaces that sustain bound states in the continuum on demand was published in Nanophotonics! tinyurl.com/s6p9b63u Thanks to everyone involved and 3D Matter Made to Order + Shmoopy for support!

Cluster Spokesperson Martin Wegener received the prestigious MOC Award from the Japan Society of Applied Physics today at the 28th #Microoptics Conference for his pioneering contributions to the research on 3D Additive Manufacturing of #Metamaterials. Congratulations! 👏 #MOC2023

In a new editorial, #OPG_OL Editor-in-Chief Miguel Alonso provides an update about the Journal and discusses the acceptance criteria for Optics Letters. ow.ly/3NcY50PO26U

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physics to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”

If you ever wanted to learn something about the meaning of a Digital Twin in photonic material research, see our latest arXiv paper, arxiv.org/abs/2309.12101. Thanks to all the colleagues involved and 3D Matter Made to Order, VolkswagenStiftung, Shmoopy, and @JCMwave for their support.

A momentum bandgap in a time-varying medium is hard to reach. But exploiting a resonance helps tremendously, as shown here arxiv.org/abs/2310.02786. The resonance can be a material or a structural resonance, e.g., a metasurface! Thanks to all collaborators for that fantastic work.

It was super nice to discuss Optics Letters issues, and many other things, with Miguel in Marseille!

Excited to see my longest and (one of) my most recent research topics combined in a paper: Homogenization of 4D (3D space + 1D time) metamaterials in a 2-step procedure. doi.org/10.1364/optica… Thanks to all involved colleagues and Wave Phenomena and Max Planck School of Photonics for support!

If you wish to know how thick the 'surface layer' of a centro-symmetric molecular crystal is from which a 2nd-order nonlinear response emerges, read our article arxiv.org/abs/2310.20297. We used quantum chemical and optical simulations down to an individual molecule in the study.

The programme of the 3rd Colloquium on the Physics and Applications of #Metasurfaces is online: metasurface.ethz.ch/programme.html Monday we start with tutorials to get up to speed and much more #photonics. To join us from January 22-25, register by Dec 6 ⏰: 📌metasurface.ethz.ch/registration.h…

Only one week left to apply for the Master's & PhD program at the Max Planck School of Photonics! Apply now on our website: photonics.maxplanckschools.org/application Don't miss out on this incredible chance to explore the future of light with us!✨ #maxplanckschoolofphotonics #maxplanckschools

Join us for the MPSP Lecture Series with Prof. Thomas Pertsch on the 29th of November, 5 p.m. CET! Topic of the lecture is "Nonlinear Photonic Metasurfaces & Nanoresonators." Safe the date! #maxplanckschoolofphotonics #LectureSeries #Photonics

The latest group picture that was taken at our retreat last week. So proud of everybody.

In Bad Herrenalb, attending a great workshop on the future of Nanophotonic Scattering, organized by Carsten Rockstuhl from KIT in Germany. We are discussing a data format and a community repository for T-matrices. Great initiative! Carsten Rockstuhl

By the way, we are still looking for a highly motivated Postdoc candidate with experience in #NonlinearOptics to join the lab for THz and Nonlinear sensing experiments! Attilio Zilli will soon feel lonely in this big fancy Lab in the lively Milan (does it sound too desperate? 😅)

💥Save the date #International #School of #Plasmonics and #Nanooptics will be held 🗓️𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟯-𝟳/𝟮𝟰, Como 🇮🇹 The event is co-sponsored and hosted by the Lake Como School in Villa del Grumello 👉Registration until March 10, 24 Info & registration 🔗plasmonica.lakecomoschool.org

The 2024 'Complex Nanophotonics Science Camp' will be opening for scientific abstract submissions soon! Dates: 30th July to 2nd August; Location: Windsor Great Park, UK. See more details here: sciencecamp.eu

The form to submit an abstract to #PLASMONICA2024 is now up and running at plasmonica.it/2024/! No excuses left 😉 to put off sending yours🗳️
