Register for the Free Virtual Conference: Starting Tomorrow

Two plenary talks are headlines of four days of technical programming. Federico Capasso, Harvard University, will explain recent advances in flat optics and Nergis Mavalvala, MIT, will discuss gravitational waves.

Nergis Mavalvala will describe the gravitational waves, ripples in spacetime, detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). Her plenary talk will also spotlight experiments on squeezed states of light that can be used to enhance LIGO's sensitivity and laser cooling and trapping of macroscopic objects to enable observation of quantum phenomena in human-scale systems. Control of light’s angular momentum from lasers has remained elusive. In his talk, “Structuring Light with Flat Optics,” Federico Capasso will discuss recent work on spin to total orbital angular momentum (OAM) converters including high OAM lasing, flat devices that enable light’s spin and OAM to evolve from one state to another. This work has applications in quantum communication, optical tweezing, and microscopy.
