SDU Nano Optics - a research centre based on the Mads Clausen Institute/the Faculty of Engineering at University of Southern Denmark
We focus on research, education, innovation, and collaboration in Nano Optics
Our principal research topics are concerned with theoretical studies and experimental investigations of light-matter interactions at nanoscale, including strongly enhanced and extremely confined electromagnetic modes supported by plasmonic nanostructures, linear and nonlinear electromagnetic phenomena for light modulation and detection with ultracompact nanophotonic components, dynamic and multifunctional optical metasurfaces for molding radiation flow and exercising complete control over wavefronts and polarizations, efficient coupling of quantum emitters to nanostructures for enhancing and funneling spontaneous emission and to metasurfaces for molding single-photon emission.
Latest news from SDU Nano Optics
New publication in Science Advances
The paper “High-dimensional spin-orbital single-photon sources”, which describes a general strategy to design highly entangled high-dimensional spin-orbital single-photon sources by taking full advantage of the spatial freedom to design quantum metasurfaces has recently been published in the prestigious high-impact journal Science Advances with the journal cover devoted to our paper and designed by Xujing Liu.
Best contributions related to photonics
“The paper “On-Chip Emitter-Coupled Meta-Optics for Versatile Quantum Light Sources” presented by Sören im Sande at the recent conference Metamaterials 2024 (Crete, Greece) has been awarded the prize from Nature Photonics for best contributions related to photonics.”
