Abstract

The field of nano-photonics and in particular, photonic-crystal, has become one of the most influential and wide-ranging realms of contemporary electro-magnetism and optics. In this talk, I will review two recent advances in random and periodic nanostructures, respectively. The first is the creation of the darkest artificial material on earth, having a world-record absorptance of 99.97%1,2. The second is the striking discovery of super Planckian thermal radiation in a 3D metallic photonic-crystal at elevated temperatures 3,4.
