This book provides a series of methods for flexibly and actively manipulating thermal emission and photoluminance by advanced nanostructures—metamaterials. Nanostructures in subwavelength scales can be designed to precisely modulate light-matter interactions and thereby tailoring both thermal radiations and photon emissions. This book explores approaches for designing different kinds of nanostructures, including multilayers, gratings, nanoridges, and waveguides, to improve the flexibility and functionality of micro/nanodevices. With the help of these subwavelength nanostructures, thermal radiation and photoluminescence have been fully manipulated in near and far fields regarding to the intensity, spectrum, polarization, and direction. The proposed methods together with designed metamaterials open new avenues for designing novel micro-/nanodevices or systems for promising applications like thermal energy harvesting, detecting, sensing, and on-chip quantum-optical networks.

Über Autor(innen)

Dr. Yinhui Kan is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie research fellow at University of Southern Denmark (SDU), with a background in nanoscale engineering, photonics, optics, and thermal science. He received his Ph.D., summa cum laude, in 2021 from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Kan's research interests include micro-/nano-optics, metasurfaces, quantum photonics, and near-field thermal radiation. More than 10 papers (first authored) have been published on peer-reviewed journals, such as Advanced Materials, ACS Photonics, Advanced Optical Materials, and Physical Review B. One of his works about metasurface-enabled generation of circularly polarized single photons has been reported and highlighted by Nature Review Physics.
