EE298‐5 PHOTONICS AND PLASMONICS SEMINAR – SPRING 2011 unit value: 1 instructor: Prof. Ivan Kaminow, [email protected] coordinator: Lea Barker, [email protected] class time: FRIDAYS, 11:00AM ‐ 12:30, 521 CORY HALL pre‐requisite: An interest in Photonics and/or Plasmonics. May be taken for credit and/or fun. website: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ee298‐5/sp11/ plasmonics list: [email protected] This course is intended to give students at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level, and researchers, insight into current research based on a series of invited talks. SCHEDULE: 1/21 ‐ Prof. REUVEN GORDON, U. Victoria, Canada, “Challenging the Limits of Diffraction” Abstract: This talk will show ways of challenging three limits of optical diffraction. First, it will be shown how to focus light below the Abbe diffraction limit [1]. Next it will be shown how to squeeze light through small holes in a metal screen, allowing for 100% transmission in some cases, in contrast to Betheʹs aperture theory as found in textbooks [2,3]. This has interesting applications for biosensors. Finally, it will be shown how to optically trap nanoparticles with powers orders of magnitude smaller than required by conventional by Rayleigh scattering formulations [4], which has interesting applications for manipulating viruses and quantum dots. Theoretical and experimental results will be presented. (1) R.

Merging Photonics and Artificial Intelligence at the Nanoscale
Intelligent Nanophotonics: Merging Photonics and Artificial Intelligence at the Nanoscale Kan Yao1,2, Rohit Unni2 and Yuebing Zheng1,2,* 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA 2Texas Materials Institute, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Nanophotonics has been an active research field over the past two decades, triggered by the rising interests in exploring new physics and technologies with light at the nanoscale. As the demands of performance and integration level keep increasing, the design and optimization of nanophotonic devices become computationally expensive and time-inefficient. Advanced computational methods and artificial intelligence, especially its subfield of machine learning, have led to revolutionary development in many applications, such as web searches, computer vision, and speech/image recognition. The complex models and algorithms help to exploit the enormous parameter space in a highly efficient way. In this review, we summarize the recent advances on the emerging field where nanophotonics and machine learning blend. We provide an overview of different computational methods, with the focus on deep learning, for the nanophotonic inverse design. The implementation of deep neural networks with photonic platforms is also discussed. This review aims at sketching an illustration of the nanophotonic design with machine learning and giving a perspective on the future tasks. Keywords: deep learning; (nano)photonic neural networks; inverse design; optimization. 1. Introduction Nanophotonics studies light and its interactions with matters at the nanoscale [1]. Over the past decades, it has received rapidly growing interest and become an active research field that involves both fundamental studies and numerous applications [2,3].

Illuminating the History and Expanding Photonics Education
Illuminating the History and Expanding Photonics Education An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science by Nicholas Marshall Brandon McLaughlin Date: 2nd June 2020 Report Submitted to: Worcester Polytechnic Institute Quinsigamond Community College Professor Douglas Petkie Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. Abstract Photonics today is on the cusp of revolutionizing computing, just as it has already revolutionized communication, and becoming to this century what electricity was to the last (Sala, 2016). As the manifestation of mankind's millenia-spanning obsession with light, photonics evolved from optics, which itself developed over the long course of human history. That development has accelerated in the last several centuries, and today optics and photonics act as enablers for a variety of fields from biology to communication. Even so, most people don’t know just how essential optics and photonics are, and today those fields face a major staffing shortage. Most people don’t even know the basic principles of light’s behavior, with few formal education programs that focus on optics and photonics. In order to combat this, various initiatives have strived to drum up more interest in optics and photonics, with several focusing on pre-college age groups in order to get students involved sooner.
