Berkeley Lab Researchers Use Metamaterials to Observe Giant Photonic Spin Hall Effect
Engineering a unique metamaterial of gold nanoantennas, Berkeley Lab researchers were able to obtain the strongest signal yet of the photonic spin Hall effect, an optical phenomenon of quantum mechanics that could play a prominent role in the future of computing.
First 3D Nanoscale Optical Cavities from Metamaterials
Berkeley Lab researchers have created the world’s smallest three-dimensional optical cavities with the potential to generate the world’s most intense nanolaser beams. In addition to nanolasers, these unique optical cavities should be applicable to a broad range of other technologies, including LEDs, optical sensing, nonlinear optics, quantum optics and photonic integrated circuits.
