Abstract:

In this talk, I will discuss several new topics on the controlling of light on a small scale.  These topics include a non-Hermitian topological effect in which one can pump a material uniformly yet gain only shows up on the edge; a parity-time symmetric non-reciprocal effect that light only goes one way in a waveguide; and the passive radiative cooling and heating textiles embedded with nanophotonic structures. These topics highlight the unprecedented capabilities of nanophotonic structures in photonic integration, information processing, and sustainable energy.
