Acoustoplasmonic metasurfaces for next-generation imaging applications (Invited Paper)

Abstract
Metasurfaces are composed of sub-wavelength periodically arranged resonant structures that can manipulate wave-matter interactions in manners not observed in nature. All-optical and all-acoustic metasurfaces have separately demonstrated versatile capabilities such as lensing, beam steering or wavefront control. Here, we study a new class of acoustoplasmonic metasurfaces. By combining the physics of light and sound in previously unexplored ways, this platform enables entirely new avenues to harness the power of wave-matter interactions. This work paves the way toward versatile societal imaging applications ranging from environmental science to biomedical devices or industrial imaging.

Lisa Poulikakos is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCSD. She received her PhD at ETH Zürich, where she introduced an original theoretical and experimental technique to enable the rational design of chiral nanophotonic systems. Her postdoctoral research at Stanford University focused on developing functional nanophotonic surfaces for all-optical and label-free cancer tissue diagnostics. Her lab at UCSD develops chiral and anisotropic nanophotonic materials e.g. for next-generation imaging. She is a recipient of the ETH Medal, awarded to outstanding doctoral theses, the L’Oréal USA For Women in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship, the Swiss National Science Foundation Early Postdoc Mobility Fellowship, the RCSA Scialog Fellowship for Advancing Bioimaging, the UCSD MRSEC New Investigator Award, the Beckman Young Investigator Award, the AFOSR Young Investigator Program Award and the Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering.
