SDU Nano Optics - a research centre based on the Mads Clausen Institute/the Faculty of Engineering at University of Southern Denmark
We focus on research, education, innovation, and collaboration in Nano Optics
Our principal research topics are concerned with theoretical studies and experimental investigations of light-matter interactions at nanoscale, including strongly enhanced and extremely confined electromagnetic modes supported by plasmonic nanostructures, linear and nonlinear electromagnetic phenomena for light modulation and detection with ultracompact nanophotonic components, dynamic and multifunctional optical metasurfaces for molding radiation flow and exercising complete control over wavefronts and polarizations, efficient coupling of quantum emitters to nanostructures for enhancing and funneling spontaneous emission and to metasurfaces for molding single-photon emission.
Latest news from SDU Nano Optics
Fei Ding has received the Semper Ardens Accelerate Grant
Associate Professor Fei Ding has received the Semper Ardens Accelerate Grant (7 mio. DKK) from the Carlsberg Foundation for the 4-year project “Dynamic Quantum Metasurfaces (DQMs)”.
New publication in Nature Photonics
The paper “Ångström-tunable polarization-resolved solid-state photon sources”, which introduces a novel platform based on quantum-emitter-embedded metasurfaces (QEMS) integrated with a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)-positioned microcavity, enabling on-chip multi-degree control of solid-state photon sources with ångström tunability of their nm-narrow wavelength. It is argued that the proposed MEMS–QEMS platform can be adapted for most existing quantum emitters, significantly expanding their room-temperature capabilities and thereby enhancing their potential for advanced photonic applications.
