Sensitive Yet Tough Photonic Devices Are Now a Reality
Engineers have achieved a long-sought milestone in photonics: creating tiny optical devices that are both highly sensitive and durable. This work could lead to a new generation of photonic devices that are not only precise and powerful but also much easier and cheaper to produce at scale. Full Story

The Incredible Loudness of Whispering
In a vision shared by innovators, entrepreneurs, and planners in both defense and civilian contexts, the skies of the future will be busy with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Unseen but central to the realization of this vision is wireless communication within and between those future fleets of UAVs that is reliable and resistant to both unintentional and ill-willed interference. “If these UAVs can’t communicate, they don’t take off or they don’t operate the way we want them to,” said Josh Conway, a program manager in DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office.
Nanophotonic Architectures for Nanoscale Light Control
Seminar Speaker
Ganapathi (Ganesh) Subramania
Nanophotonic architectures such as photonic crystals and metamaterials have become key players in modern photonics. They offer hitherto unprecedented capabilities combined with great versatility to control various properties of light -propagation, polarization, emission and photon statistics. They have become increasingly important for chipscale photonics. In this talk, I will present research carried out along with my colleagues in this area using photonic crystals and metamaterials at Sandia.
