Multifunctional Metaoptics: From Science into Your Smartphones
Wed, Apr 9, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Metasurfaces provide an almost unlimited toolbox to design the wavefront of light in search of new phenomena and applications. Using matrix Fourier optics aided in the design of spatial distribution of Jones matrices to achieve polarization sensitive imaging, a new type of holography with control of polarization in the far-field and Mueller matrix imaging. Polarization metaoptics has led to an error-free biometric authentication system for smartphones. Federico Capasso will present recent developments in large-area metalenses for astrophysics as well as high-efficiency broadband metalenses. He will conclude with recent work on bilayer freestanding metasurfaces and the new functionalities that they enable.

FLIR MIX – A Breakthrough in Infrared and Visible Imaging
Thu, Apr 10, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Discover the fascinating world of infrared imaging radiometry! Infrared imaging radiometry involves using an infrared camera to measure the infrared radiation emitted by objects in a scene. Each pixel in an image captured by a radiometrically-calibrated camera provides quantitative data. These radiometric images are not just pictures; they are two-dimensional grids of infrared radiation measurements from the scene, typically displayed as temperature per pixel in most commercial applications. During this webinar, Matthew Hasty will explore the fundamentals of infrared technology, how it works, and the various sensor technologies available. The presentation will also touch on radiometric calibration for temperature per pixel. Finally, Hasty will demonstrate how software, particularly FLIR Research Studio, can enhance efficiency and drive scientific discovery for global teams in innovative ways. Presented by FLIR.
