Excited to share that our recent research has been featured in #AdvancedFunctionalMaterials

Our study presents a photonic hypercrystal made from vdW crystal, designed to excite and tune inplane hyperbolic polaritons in the far field by manipulating the hypercrystal orientation

[loqm.iitb @loqmIITB]

LOQM is in Advanced Functional Materials! Led by our grad student, @NiharSahoo_, we experimentally demonstrate a photonic hypercrystal in a-MoO3.

Shout out to our collaborators @Caldwell_IR_Lab and @Saurabhdixit_22! And @BKG99
for the fab!

As part of the National Quantum Mission (NQM), we have several PhD positions open in our lab (via the Physics department, photonics subgroup), to develop critical quantum technologies for our nation. Please apply, if interested.

Our latest article has been published in Sensors and Actuators A. In this work, we explored sensing utilizing the exceptional point in non-Hermitian system.

LOQM is in Sensors and Actuators! Our PhD student, Parul Sharma has come up with a new approach for real time, low cost unprecedentedly sensitive coronavirus detection scheme using the physics of exceptional points.

LOQM celebrated teacher's day. We thank all our teachers from school days and beyond as well as colleagues who have played such an important part in shaping our careers. #teachersday2024

Congratulation Dr. @AnujSingh_96. Your contribution in building the LOQM lab have left an enduring legacy.

[loqm.iitb @loqmIITB]

Congratulations to our PhD candidate, @AnujSingh_96 on defending his PhD thesis today. Many thanks to the examiners and the chair for the excellent questions and comments.

Two physicists, Arnab Priya Saha and Aninda Sinha from the Indian Institute of Science, inadvertently discovered a new formula for calculating π while working on string theory. Their findings were published in Physical Review Letters in January 2024.

This formula generates an infinitely long sum. What's remarkable is that it depends on a factor λ, which is a freely adjustable parameter.

Since there are infinitely many possible values for λ, Saha and Sinha have effectively discovered an infinite number of formulas for π. Interestingly, when λ approaches infinity, the equation corresponds to Madhava's formula discovered more than 600 years ago.

Congratulations, Dr. @abhay_light , on successfully defending your PhD thesis! All those hard work, and ups and downs have finally paid off. We'll miss all our moments, especially those tea sessions—'Are Bhai chai peene chale?’ won't be the same without you. Best wishes!

Many congratulations to our LOQM PhD candidate, @abhay_light on defending his PhD thesis today! Thank you to the examiners and chair for the excellent questions and suggestions.

On the occasion of #IDL2024, our chapter members visited the orphanage Caring Hands and introduced these children to optics. Super curious and enthusiastic kids despite the adversity. Thanks to @OpticaWorldwide and @IEEEPhotonics for supporting the activity.

This week's #fridaySNOM is here! Today we introduce the amazing mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) detector.
.
As one of the most common detectors in infrared (IR) range, MCT detectors are perfect to pair with interferometer to measure the IR radiation. (1/?)

Our PhD (@NiharSahoo_) and MSc (Jatin) students present an equal author work on building mid-IR Polarimeter using twisted van der Waals crystals. We employed NSGA within the Mueller matrix framework to design this compact chip scale device.

It was exciting to host @bombayscottish students for a tour of @loqmIITB and a sapling planting session at @iitbombay. These young students were very excited to see lasers for the 1st time. Thanks @IEEEPhotonics and @OpticaWorldwide for supporting such outreach activities!

There are, of course, profound educational benefits of the Internet enjoyed by today’s children. But here’s something I REALLY missed out on in my childhood. With this tutorial I could have been paper plane making champ of my class! #fridaymorning

[photonics.iitb @photonicsiitb]

Great to learn about applications of plasmonics to cancer treatment in this talk. Here is a picture of the event with all our chapter officers! @IEEEPhotonics @OpticaWorldwide @iitbombay
