New light absorbing material to improve cancer dose monitoring and eye imagingThe creation of a material that absorbs the majority, if not all light, would improve the effectiveness of health-related equipment. Michael Reimer, a faculty member at the Institute for Quantum Computing and researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, has set his sights on creating an artificially engineered material, known as a metamaterial, to do just that. Reimer and his research team have achieved this goal and developed a new class of materials that absorbs light better than anything that has existed to-date.

We have designed a novel semiconductor metamaterial made of InGaAs nanowires to achieve near-unity absorption in the infrared for the optimal shape parameters of the nanowires. We discuss potential of broadband detection with the approach and present our simulation and experimental results.
On World Quantum Day, Dr. Reimer, Dr. Bizheva and Dr. Borneman discuss quantum sensing technologies in a panel discussion hosted by IQC.
