On Tuesday 25 February, at 14:00 the seminar will take place at the LITEK conference room (2nd floor), Savanorių pr. 235 (Vilnius).

 

Speaker: Prof. Dr habil. Kęstutis Staliūnas (Plankas) from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), Spain.

Topic: "Light Trapping in Non-Hermitian Thin Films".

 

"During the seminar I will talk about the miraculous thin films where, popularly speaking, Newton's third law no longer works. Scientifically speaking, these are non-hermitian systems. Light can get into these films, but it cannot get out. It is ideal for light absorption. I came up with these non-hermitian films - we counted them, they made - we measured them. And they certainly absorb light better than conventional (ermitic) films," says K. Plankas.

 

The seminar will be held in Lithuanian (with English slides).
