>>Capasso group's work on the generation of optical vortices via optical phased array based on phase discontinuities was recently published in APL and has made the cover of the magazine. Please see the original article.

>>Capasso group's work on new laws of reflection and refraction has made the cover of Science and of Physics today. Please see the original article; the commentary article by Prof. Engheta in the same issue and the Physics today Search and Discovery article.

>>Federico Capasso has received the 2011 Jan Czochralski Award of the European Material Research Society at a recent ceremony in Warsaw (Poland) on occasion of the fall meeting of the society . He was recognized for his lifetime achievements in the field of advanced materials science (see the story on the SEAS website). He was also recently recognized at the 4th European Optical Society Topical Meeting on Optical Microsystems with the Galileo Galilei Medal for his outstanding contributions to optics and photonics.
