This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $457,500 to Trustees of Boston University from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025.
The funding supports research to develop new classes of photodetectors based on metasurface nanophotonics technology. This aims to enable advanced computational imaging capabilities beyond traditional sensors, such as producing focused three-dimensional images in a single shot and label-free imaging of transparent biological cells. Key activities include designing, fabricating and testing prototype devices incorporating plasmonic metasurfaces tailored for specific applications. Advanced computational imaging techniques will also be applied to demonstrate functionalities like lightfield acquisition and phase contrast. The grant advances metasurface science while highlighting their potential when integrated into optoelectronic devices and combined with computational imaging approaches.
