(d) Current Research Interests
(i) Plasmonics. Pioneering contributions include (i) reduction of metallic loss by optical gain and (ii) stimulated emission in nanoplasmonic systems, first demonstration of spaser nanolaser .
(ii) Metamaterials. Control of physical phenomena with metamaterials and non-local dielectric environments: (i) control of the rate, the spectra and the directionality of spontaneous emission; (ii) dramatic reduction of reflectance in metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion; (iii) control of the Förster energy transfer; (iv) control of van der Waals interactions/wetting; and (v) control of chemical reactions.
(iii) Random lasers (stimulated emission systems in which a feedback is provided by scattering). Pioneering studies of solid-state random lasers and random lasers with diffusive feedback.
(e) Research Experience \ Past Research Projects
· Optical bistability in luminescent systems.
