Maxim V. Gorkunov “Chiral metaphotonics empowered by dielectric resonances”报告会成功举办

499时,Shubnikov Institute of CrystallographyMaxim V. Gorkunov教授在中国科大西区力二楼215受邀做学术报告,报告题目为“Chiral metaphotonics empoweredby dielectric resonances”,报告会由工程科学学院陈杨教授主持。

Maxim教授从自然界普遍存在的几何手性展开讲述,谈到几个世纪以来,科学家一直致力于通过手性光学增强天然物质和材料的弱手性响应。最初的探索是利用金属超材料和超表面表现出强的光学手性响应,虽然存在高吸收损耗的弊端,但是激励了其他方案的提出,例如电介质超表面。Maxim教授提到电介质超表面的强光学手性响应的关键是具有高品质因子的特定谐振本征模式,而强手性本征模式是基于准连续域中的束缚态(q-BIC)的概念发展而来。在此基础上,Maxim教授概述了手性共振超表面的最新进展,并根据不同结构对称性产生的手性调制效果进行了分类。同时也介绍了团队的近期研究成果:利用多步光刻制备的硅纳米结构首次证明了正入射光的最大手性;进一步利用了超表面和反射镜的组合构建了具有强响应的手性法布里-珀罗腔。Maxim教授认为手性准BICs的强近场增强不仅为手性光的高效发射和检测,还为非线性手性光的转换开辟了广阔的前景。

Maxim教授的讲述内容丰富,逻辑清晰,给与会师生带来了一场精彩的学术报告。

在自由讨论环节,参会师生就结构对称性与偏振转化的影响关系、谐振腔的品质因子和珀赛尔效应的关联性等问题与Maxim教授进行交流互动。针对偏振转化的问题,Maxim教授认为不能简单的把偏振转化与结构的对称性相关联,其本质是光学系统的本征方程所导致的。针对品质因子对珀赛尔效应的影响,Maxim教授表示了肯定,不过由于准BIC模式的品质因子非常高,可以有效地保证珀赛尔效应。参会的师生还针对BIC模式的分类开展讨论,双方交流深刻,与会师生反响热烈。
