• Russian Scientists Develop New Metasurfaces for Deep UV-Imaging

  Russian researchers developed a new material, which converts infrared light to ultrashort pulses of ultraviolet. For this purpose, the scientists exposed silicon film to laser so that its relief adjusted under light wavelength and made properties of the material resonant. In the end, the researchers got a cheap and easy-to-make metasurface, which is as effective as existing ones. The new technology can help create compact UV generators for biophotonics and medicine, and also devices for ultradense data processing in optical communication. The study was published in Nanoscale.
