- Additional information
- We demonstrated that femtosecond-laser induced nano-patterns allow creating embedded optical metasurfaces operating as phase elements. The technology was licensed to Workshop of Photonics Ltd for the development of birefringent optical components for laser beam shaping. The components are now distributed through photonics vendors such as Altechna and Edmund Optics. The demonstration was also followed by the EPSRC grant (EP/M029042/1) worth £447k and industrial funding in the form of two research grants (worth £100k combined) via HIRPO scheme from Huawei. The work was followed by invited talks at Photonics West (2018), CLEO Pacific Rim (2017) and Frontiers in Optics (2015).
