Siyuan DaiAuburn University – Auburn, Alabama, USA_______________________________________ The variation of optical momentum determines light propagation across material interfaces. Evident momentum mismatch at the two sides of the interface results in inefficient energy transfer due to the lack of phase matching, thereby causing light reflection or scattering. In this work, we demonstrate an electrically tunable polaritonic…
Atac Imamoglu
Professor of Physics, ETH Zurich
Atac Imamoglu received his PhD in 1991 from Stanford University for his work on electromagnetically induced transparency. After an ITAMP postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, he joined University of California, Santa Barbara as an assistant professor where he demonstrated the first solid-state single-photon source. In 2002, he moved to the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich, where he leads the Quantum Photonics group. His research focuses on quantum optics of two dimensional materials, with a strong emphasis on optical spectroscopy of strongly correlated electrons in van der Waals heterostructures.
