Thin-film polariton filters for better displays, sensors, and optical imaging? laserfocusworld.com/optics/a…

Thin-film polariton filters for better displays, sensors, and optical imaging?

By tapping into the quantum mechanical principle of strong light-matter coupling, researchers manage to outmaneuver the problem of angular dependence within optical systems.

📢Just published: Breaking the angular dispersion limit in thin-film optics by ultra-strong light-matter coupling rdcu.be/d2hUo. This may be our most impactful work so far, challenging a fundamental limit that has constrained optical design in the past. @andreas_physics

The new filters will allow larger field of view and reduced noise in fields like micro-optics, #displays, optical #sensors, #imaging and #biophotonics.

Last meal in Kyoto was a gem of a place, having a relaxing lunch with @TheGatherLab. I went for cold soba and tempura and Malte the grilled eel and udon in broth. Worth the trek. Handmade Udon & Soba Shōraku

A great peak of attending conferences at the US west coast is to enjoy morning twilight scenes while already fully awake, whether they are light scattering or optically cleared 🤓 #jetlag

Very sad to hear of the passing on 15 Oct of Wilson Sibbett CBE from @univofstandrews, ultrafast pioneer, mentor & dear friend to many. He won numerous honours from @OpticaWorldwide @rankprize @PhysicsNews @EuroPhysSoc @royalsociety Add your memories here rememberancebook.net/book/pr…

Hanging out at a brew house with @TheGatherLab @TheColloid @MurawskiLab Pauline and Sonny. Had a pretty tasty burger and shared these pretzel bites.

Back in #Iceland after having done my first postdoc here with @KristjanLeosson @Haskoli_Islands 15 years ago. This time in summer, it's still daylight at 11pm! Looking forward to the #PEPS2024 #polariton meeting.
