Congratulations Alyssa Livingood, NSF REU fellow 2019, on being FIRST AUTHOR on a published paper in ACS Photonics! Being a first author on a paper is a major accomplishment and we at VINSE are very proud of Alyssa’s accomplishment.  Alyssa is currently studying to receive her B.S. in Computer Engineering at the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ of Kentucky.
was published from the Caldwell lab.
The project focused on demonstrating the use of cadmium oxide films for a narrowband, normal incidence nanophotonic IR emitting metamaterial (NIREM). Through a collaboration with Third Floor Materials, it was demonstrated that the radiation pattern could be changed by growing on a patterned sapphire substrate, while enabling a narrow bandwidth. This was demonstrated as a potential plug and play replacement for non-dispersive IR (NDIR) gas sensing of CO2!
