Metasurface-enabled small-satellite polarisation imaging
Polarisation imaging enhances the information available from satellite remote sensing. We present a metasurface designed for ultra-compact polarisation imaging with error monitoring, suitable for observing the Earth's surface with small satellites.

Selective modal excitation in a multimode nanoslit by interference of surface plasmon waves
A multimode nanoslit interferometer enables the selective excitation of resonant modes through surface plasmon interference, achieved by adjusting geometrical parameters and phase control, with promising applications in biosensing.
Paper
Toward nanofabrication of SERS substrates with two-photon polymerization
Highly controllable direct laser writing allows the fabrication of individual nanopillars with up to an aspect ratio of 4 in less than 2 hours. The developed SERS substrates show up to 106 Raman signal enhancement.
Paper
Evidence of high electron mobility in magnetic kagome topological metal FeSn thin films
Optical spectroscopy experiments on an important representative of kagome metals, FeSn, revealed the emergence of Dirac electrons dominating the low energy electrodynamics of the system, providing evidence for quasi-2D Dirac bulk states.
