Welcome!

We moved to the Colorado School of Mines in Golden Colorado (USA) in July 2023.
Our mission @Mines is to engage in new experimental and theoretical exploration of topics related to Metamaterials and Metasurfaces for wavefront shaping, 3D imaging and optical computation. In particular, we investigate fundamental theoretical and experimental problems aiming to integrate, at the nanoscale, passive and active optical Metasurfaces. |
|
With the development of artificial optical materials, it is now possible to arbitrarily engineer the optical response of a medium or an interface to create spectacular optical effects such as anomalous refraction and cloaking.
Dr. Genevet participated actively to the development of a new class of ultrathin 2D materials -dubbed “Metasurfaces”- able to control light without using the effect of light propagation.
Photonic Surfaces

Acting directly at the level of the boundary conditions of Maxwell's equations, metasurfaces can produce specialized electromagnetic properties which do not occur in nature. Applications of metasurfaces include anomalous reflection and refraction, wavefront engineering, polarization control, holography, optical vortex generation, spin-Hall effect, surface cloaking, laser collimations, artificial nonlinear phase matching ... |

Dec 2022, Christina Kyrou and Patrice Genevet received the "Prix d'excellence" from the Université Côte d'Azur for the influence they bring to the Université Côte d'Azur during the evening of the winners of the 2022 excellence awards. Christina Kyrou was the winner of the 2022 i- PhD program organized by the public investment bank. In 2022, Patrice Genevet received the Fabry - de Gramont prize awarded by the French optical society. He was also distinguished in the Highly Cited Researchers category (top 1% of most cited researchers since 2018). Patrice Genevet also received the "Coup de coeur" award for 2022 from the president of the university, Jeanick Brisswalter.
Sept 2022, Renato Juliano Martins and co-workers published the fastest Metasurface LiDAR in Nature Communications

July 2022, Christina Kyrou, lauréate du concours iPhD 2022 for her project AUTONOM which aims at developing a new LiDAR system: a light beam scanning system based on an innovative technology based on the use of programmable metasurfaces using liquid crystals, to reach scanning frequencies up to MHz. The use of CMOS compatible technologies makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing costs of LiDARs, thus facilitating their integration for the robots and autonomous vehicles of the future.
July 2022, Patrice Genevet, Lauréat du prix Fabry - de Gramont 2021: The Fabry-de Gramont Prize of the Société Française d'Optique was established in memory of the physicist Charles Fabry (1867-1945), first director general of the Institut d'Optique, famous for his work on interference, and of Mr. Armand de Gramont (1879-1962), industrial optician, founder of the Institut d'Optique. The prize rewards a young researcher (under 40), internationally recognized, whose research work has been noted for its quality, originality and potential impact. Patrice Genevet is rewarded for his innovative work on optical metasurfaces.
