has broad implications for many research areas, ranging from spectroscopy and
sensing to communications and quantum information processing. In this
presentation, I will discuss our research efforts to develop a general strategy
for engineering light-matter interaction using nanoscale plasmonic and
optoelectronic interfaces. Topics that will be discussed include (1) a
cavity-free, broadband approach for engineering photon-emitter interactions via
sub-wavelength plasmon confinement in metallic nanowires, (2) the realization
of “dark” optoplasmonic circuit elements that are based on near-field
electrical generation and detection of optical plasmons, and (3) the
deterministic coupling between quantum emitters and photonic and plasmonic
crystal cavities </span></font></span><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Grier Room, MIT Bldg 34-401</span></font><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Refreshments served after the lecture</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
