Congratulations to Dr Faris Shahidan
Congratulations to Dr Shahidan whose PhD was awarded on 31 August! From his citation his contributions to the field involved the investigation of novel approaches to generating nanostructured surface colouration. He showed that nanoimprint lithography can produce complex three-dimensional nanostructures over large areas and at scale critical to adoption of structural colour technologies. His work […]optics.physics.unimelb.edu.au/2021/09/14/congratulations-to-dr-faris-shahidan

Actively variable-spectrum optoelectronics with black phosphorus
Nima Azar, Sivacarendran Balendhran and Ken Crozier are co-authors on a Nature paper with colleagues from the University of California at Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. They made use of the extraordinary sensitivity of the bandgap of black phosphorous (bP) to strain to show the continuous and reversible tuning of the operating wavelengths […] -
Review article on thin film and meta-optical image processing
Lukas Wesemann, Tim Davis and Ann Roberts have a new review article looking at the use of thin films and metasurfaces for all-optical image processing that appeared today in Applied Physics Reviews.

New article on optical nanotweezers designed by computer algorithm
Neuton’s paper on algorithm-designed plasmonic apertures for optical nanotweezers has been published in Advanced Optical Materials. The apertures were fabricated using a helium ion microscope and were characterised by cathodoluminescence and optical trapping experiments. It was shown that at every laser intensity, an algorithm-designed structure can outperform a conventional plasmonic aperture.

Lukas Wesemann PhD completion
Congratulations to Lukas Wesemann who was awarded his PhD on 5 March. His citation states that he investigated all-optical image processing with nanostructures. He demonstrated both thin-film and patterned surfaces that can detect the edges of features in an image or permit visualisation of transparent objects. His study will enable the development of ultracompact and […]optics.physics.unimelb.edu.au/2021/03/09/lukas-wesemann-phd-completion
