Primalight Laboratory Research Group

Professor Andrea Fratalocchi leads the so-called Primalight research group, which stands for Primalight Laboratory Research Group Research group areas of expertise and current scientific interests: photonics, energy harvesting, imaging apparatus At Primalight we take inspiration from the millenarian evolution of Nature, embedding its complexity into a new class of generational advanced Photonic devices and materials. Being a teacher gives the unique possibility to form a new generations of thinkers that contribute to the progress of science and, on a broader perspective, to increase the

EE 231 Optics

Instructor Professor Andrea Fratalocchi Office Location: Building 1, Room 3222. I give 100% time availability to my students. If for some reason I am out of my office, please send me an email and we will arrange a meeting. Description The course offers a general introduction to optics, covering classical topics such as diffraction, waveguides and resonators, taught in a modern style. Examples and selected lab lessons complement theoretical arguments and concepts introduced during lessons. At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand basic optical systems, and master general

EE 391D Advanced Concepts in Photonics

Instructor Professor Andrea Fratalocchi Course Description The course introduces the student to different types of photonics systems. The course focuses on real-world devices and modern theories, which can be used in research to study advanced light-matter interactions and in industrial environments to model, design, and optimize different types of light-wave architectures. Topics covered in the course are listed as follows. Light propagation in anisotropic crystals. Dielectric and susceptibility tensors. Symmetric nature of the Dielectric tensor. Plane wave solutions in anisotropic materials

Evolutionary Photonics with a twist

Our Research At PRIMALIGHT we take inspiration from the millenarian evolution of Nature, embedding its complexity into a new class of generational advanced Photonic devices and materials. The common denominator of all our systems is the presence of different scales of disorder. Disorder is the ubiquitous manifestation of Nature, which is observed everywhere. In Nature, is practically impossible to find two identical units, no matter how small is the scale that we consider. Our brain, which is composed by hundreds of millions of neurons interconnected by hundreds of trillions of synapses, does
