Our research focuses on controlling materials at the 100-nanometer scale and investigating their size and shape-dependent properties. We have developed massively parallel, multi-scale patterning tools to generate hierarchical, anisotropic, and 3D hard and soft materials with applications in imaging, sensing, wetting, and cancer therapeutics.
High-Chirality Polariton Lasing from Symmetry-Broken Plasmonic Lattices
Chiral polariton lasing offers a circularly polarized and energy-efficient source of coherent light. Achieving strong optical contrast between opposite circular polarizations, however, remains difficult due to the weak circular dichroism of excitonic gain materials at...
