Nonlinear near-field optics: from materials science to some user cases (Benoit Cluzel / LCAR / Seminar). – 3/03/23, 11H

Benoit Cluzel (Département photonique, Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne – Université de Bourgogne, Dijon, France)

Séminaire LCAR vendredi 3 mars 11h. – Salle de séminaire, 3R4

Résumé :
In this seminar, I will first briefly review my research activities in the field of nanophotonics, near-field optics and plasmonics. I will then focus on our most recent works on nonlinear nanophotonics. Saturable plasmonic metasurfaces will be discussed in detail and I will present some user-cases in mode-locked lasers. Finally, I will discuss the unusual optical properties of chalcogenide materials and describe our last progress in developing a new photonic platform for on-chip nonlinear optics operating at low power.
