    This course will introduce you to the field of metamaterials (artificial materials designed to achieve advantageous and unusual electromagnetic and optical properties) and nanophotonics (controlling  light at nanoscale). 

    Short content: Introduction (motivation - what changes if light "sees" particles which are smaller or comparable in size with the wavelength and why this is important); Photonic crystals; Plasmonic nanoparticles; Plasmonic waveguides (including particle chains); Metamaterials (definition and why they are promising), Superlens; Metasurfaces (including extraordinary transmission and perfect absorption); Review of applications (SERS, surface plasmon microscopy, nanostructured solar cells, thermophotovoltaics, metatronics, etc.)

    Lecturers: Profs. Sergei Tretyakov and Constantin Simovski

    Assistants: Dr. Fu Liu, MSc Xuchen Wang, MSc Francisco Cuesta
