Light offers several degrees of freedom to encode qubits: of these the time and frequency degrees of freedom are compatible both with long distance propagation using fiber networks and elaboration of information using integrated optics and telecom components. In this seminar I will present how to generate entangled states in frequency and time using on-chip […]
Photonic Pathways to Scalable and Low-Cost Free-Space Optical Satellite Downlinks Abstract: Free-space optical communication (FSOC) is rapidly emerging as a cornerstone of high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for space-to-ground and inter-satellite networks. Yet the downlink to ground remains the most technically demanding segment, where atmospheric turbulence distorts optical wavefronts and drives system complexity and cost. Traditional bulk-optics […]
Software-Defined Optics: Opening New Frontiers in Perception and Autonomy From autonomous vehicles to smart infrastructure, the future of intelligent systems depends on sensors that can adapt, learn, and perceive with precision. Lumotive is pioneering this transformation with light-control metasurface (LCM) technology, a revolutionary solid-state beam-steering approach that replaces mechanical LiDAR with fully programmable, software-defined optics. […]
Lend us your senses for Sensing in the 21st Century. This online series comprises some of the most distinguished lecturers in one of the widest technology spectrums in Society. We encourage all of your senses to join! In IEEE we might agree with Kant when he states “All our knowledge begins with the senses…”! Dr. Shweta Agarwala […]
Distinguished Lecture entitled "Metasurfaces: building blocks of tomorrow’s optical technologies" Abstract: Recent advancements in nanofabrications, characterisations, and computer modelling have allowed the generation of arrays of engineered nanoparticles, called meta-surfaces, that extraordinarily control light characteristics. They can reproduce the functions of bulky geometrical optics such as lenses, mirrors or filters. Alongside that, occasionally, metasurfaces can […]
The University of the Western Cape (UWC) in association with American Chemical Society (ACS) will host the "Smart Materials Conference 2025 (SMC2025)" in Cape town, South Africa, from 3-5 December 2025. The conference brings together academia and industry researchers including students and young researchers on board in fostering a global dialogue within the materials science, […]
The discussion will highlight cutting-edge advances in space-based electronics and photonics, while also addressing professional development topics such as pathways for emerging professionals entering the field. Your expertise and your professional experience would provide valuable insight to both seasoned attendees and those aspiring to build careers in this area. Panelists will engage in a moderated […]
As part of the Phonons 2025 international conference, the IEEE Photonics Society and OPTICA student chapters will be hosting an event on Thursday, December 4th at 18:10. Two invited speakers from industry and academia will share their career experiences and discuss possible paths after graduation, with a focus on graduate students: Dr. Leslie Cusato, Physicist (PhD in Engineering), Optics Expert and Product […]
With the rapid advent in sensors and actuators, and the ever-advancing wireless technologies, the idea of internet-of-things (IoTs) has had a revolutionary impact on ubiquitous computing with massive amount of data from the “5G-connected” smart objects. This new paradigm has become the driving force for many new technologies, such as smart health, telemedicine, telediagnosis, and […]
