SUMMARY:Challenging the Limits of Diffraction II: Superscattering and Non-L
 ocal Effects
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nPreviously\, I presented an EXSS seminar on overcomi
 ng conventional limits of diffraction by challenging their basic assumptio
 ns. In particular\, Abbe’s limit\, Rayleigh scattering and Bethe’s ape
 rture theory were surpassed by careful design\, both in theory and experim
 ent. In this talk\, I will continue on that theme and present ways to over
 come the single channel limit in 2D and 3D\, as well as investigations on 
 “Probing the Ultimate Limits of Plasmonic Enhancement” following recen
 t studies on that topic with some surprising results. \nBio:\nReuven Gord
 on received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Cambridge. In 2002
 \, he joined the University of Victoria\, where he currently holds a Canad
 a Research Chair in Nanoplasmonics and an Associate Professor position in 
 the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In 2009\, Dr. Gordo
 n was a visiting Professor at the Institute for Photonic Sciences (ICFO\, 
 Barcelona\, Spain). He has received a Canadian Advanced Technology Allianc
 e Award (2001)\, an Accelerate BC Industry Impact Award (2007)\, an AGAUR 
 Visiting Professor Fellowship (2009)\, and the Craigdarroch Silver Medal f
 or Research Excellence (2011). Dr. Gordon has authored and co-authored ove
 r 100 journal papers (including 6 invited contributions)\, two magazine co
 ntributions and he has co-authored three book chapters. He is co-inventor 
 for two patents and four patent applications (in review). Dr. Gordon is a 
 Senior Member of the IEEE and a Professional Engineer of BC.\n
