Congratulations to our fourth year PGRs Kishan Menghrajani, the main author of the paper Hybridization of Multiple Vibrational Modes via Strong Coupling Using Confined Light Fields, which was recently published in Advanced Optical Materials. The co-authors were fourth year PGR Henry Fernandez and supervisors Geoffrey R. Nash and William L. Barnes.
The paper is on strong coupling of multiple vibrational resonances of the same molecular unit with confined light fields. The results suggest that strong coupling might be used to manipulate vibrational resonances in a richer and subtler way than previously considered, opening a path to greater control of molecular systems and molecular processes via vibrational strong coupling.
Both Kishan and Henry have been busy this year, with Kishan presenting at Liebniz Institute of Photonics Technology and earlier this year, Henry giving a talk at the prestigious Nanometa conference.
