Fabrication and application of conducting polymer optics and metasurfaces (Invited Paper)

27 January 2025 • 10:35 AM - 11:05 AM PST | Moscone South, Room 155 (Upper Mezz)

Abstract

Redox-tunable conducting polymers offer novel ways for dynamic control of light in different spectral regions. Applications ranges from reflective color displays and dynamic radiative cooling to tunable metasurfaces and adaptive camouflage. This presentation will cover our most recent work on those topics, including how to use strain to induce hyperbolic properties of conducting polymers and their use for dynamic broadband chiroptics.

Magnus Jonsson is professor of applied physics and vice head of the Laboratory of Organic Electronics at Linköping University in Sweden. His research group studies novel nanooptical concepts for applications such as displays, energy systems, and smart materials. The group recently introduced conducting polymers as a new materials platform for dynamic plasmonics. Other interests include forest-based materials for radiative cooling and dynamic camouflage. Jonsson is a Wallenberg Academy Fellow since 2019 and holds consolidator grants from the European Research Council and the Swedish Research Council. He is co-director of the strategic initiative on Advanced Functional Materials at Linköping University and he was the chair of the Young Academy of Sweden 2019-2020.
