Akhlesh Lakhtakia, the Charles Godfrey Binder Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, traveled to India for a conference on Metamaterials and Photonoic Nanostructures, hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK), August 16-17.
The two-day conference was organized by the Department of Physics at IITK and the Instruments Research and Development Establishment at Dehradun. The program included presentations of state-of-the-art developments in metamaterials and nanophotonics and, with a plan to identify new applications and technologies, identified the emerging themes in these areas.
Dr. Lakhtakia presented a talk titled “Surface multiplasmonics and Dyakonov-Tamm waves,” that focused on multiple surface plasmon polariton waves and Dyakonov-Tamm waves when a periodically non-homogenous sculptured thin film is a partnering material.
