ENG SC 777: Nano-Optics Course description: Nano-optics lies at the heart of the current Nanotechnology revolution as an interdisciplinary and fascinating research field that studies the unique convergence of optical and electronic properties of advanced materials at the nanoscale.
This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the physical concepts that are necessary to understand the operation of a variety of advanced optical devices that rely on the behavior of optical fields and materials systems confined in nanoscale environments. In particular, fundamental aspects of light-matter interactions at the nano scale and the physics of advanced quantum and photonic structures will be discussed in relation to novel device applications.

Exploiting a novel technique called phase discontinuity, researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have induced light rays to behave in a way that defies the centuries-old laws of reflection and refraction. The discovery, published this week in Science, has led to a reformulation of the mathematical laws that predict the path of a ray of light bouncing off a surface or traveling from one medium into another—for example, from air into glass.
"Using designer surfaces, we've created the effects of a fun-house mirror on a flat plane," says co-principal investigator Federico Capasso, Robert L. Wallace Professor of Applied Physics and Vinton Hayes Senior Research Fellow in Electrical Engineering at SEAS. "Our discovery carries optics into new territory and opens the door to exciting developments in photonics technology.
" It has been recognized since ancient times that light travels at different speeds through different media.
