The Future IMRE Technologies Webinar

Dr LIU HONG, IMRE, A*STAR

Optical Micro & Nano Printing

Abstract
In this webinar, Dr. Liu Hong will introduce the recent R&D works and new initiatives of the Printed Micro and Nano Optics Group. These works are developed under the ongoing A*STAR Programmatic NSLM WP8 project and SINGA Ph.D. Program.

The following topics will be covered:

• large area nanoimprint lithography to make flat optical lens,
• hybrid dielectric metasurfaces for third-harmonic generation using phase change material, and
• printed structural colors enabled by 3D photonic crystals

Dr. Liu will share the challenges faced and the achievements made so far. He will also discuss the potential of work to address those challenges and advance the technologies in relevant fields.

Biography
Dr. Liu Hong obtained his M. Eng and Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the National University of Singapore. He joined the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) in 2003. His research interest focused on developing advanced nanofabrication technologies for flat lenses, tunable metasurfaces, nanophotonics devices, artificially engineered materials and nanoplasmonics, optical nanolithography, etc. Currently, Dr. Liu Hong is leading the Nanofabrication Department in IMRE to advance the science and engineering of structured materials at micro-and nano-meter scale.

Nanoscale Imaging & Inspection

Abstract
The Nanoscale Imaging & Inspection group develops nanoscale imaging technologies for various applications, ranging from sample surface defect inspection, hyperspectral imaging to mid-infrared photonic sensing and imaging. Our cross-cutting research integrates advanced nanophotonics, material engineering, optics, and system engineering technologies that address key challenges in the field of imaging and inspection. In this webinar, I will share the fundamental research on light-matter interactions and next-generation light-related applications e.g., imaging/display, bioscience and engineering, advanced manufacturing, and defense.
