This is the student-run Twitter account for the Kats Laboratory of Applied Physics, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
We’d love to share fun ideas and insights relating to optics and photonics!
Sharing some pictures of our group members engaging with the nanophotonics community at the @Materials_MRS #F23MRS conference in Boston!

In a new @NaturePhotonics paper, a team of @UWMadisonECE researchers led by @mickeykats details using vanadium dioxide to craft an optical device that is simultaneously an electrically tunable optical switch, optical limiter, and one-way window for light.

Presenting our work on absorption measurements of Si3N4 for lightsails at @Materials_MRS #F23MRS tomorrow, 10:45 AM. This work involves self-referencing photothermal commonpath interferometry with collaborators at @KatsGroup, UMN Twin Cities, UW Physics and USNA.
We're extremely happy to share that Mikhail (@mickeykats ) has been awarded the @UWMadisonECE 2023 ECE Outstanding Graduate Student Mentoring Award!
Our group member Erick Yin (along with Sabrina Wu) clicked a beautiful time-lapse of the aurora borealis event visible in Madison, WI.
The view from ECE PhD students Sabrina Wu and Erick Yin's UW-Madison apartment set the scene for amazing time-lapse videos of the recent aurora borealis.

A 2D array of ducks has mysteriously appeared at @UWMadEngr amidst the heavy snowfall ❄️🦆
Researchers are investigating the quackherence time of this array...
Our group member @foowhiz is in the news explaining his passion for understanding the solar system!

Volunteering at the Wisconsin Science Festival on behalf of @spieoptica_uwm and it’s so cool to see kids getting amused by lenses and diffraction gratings!
Congratulations to *Dr. Zhaoning (April) Yu* for successfully defending her PhD thesis, "Micro- and nano-optical components for quantum technologies"
Thanks to everyone who attended the talk and we wish April luck for her new role at Oculus / @Meta
