We design and fabricate tunable nanophotonic platforms that enable the\u00a0control of fundamental light properties such as emission, absorption, directional scattering, polarization, lasing etc. Utilizing these investigations we ultimately strive to make novel integrated, active nanophotonic devices.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-348 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eng.biu.ac.il\/lewitom\/files\/2022\/05\/Exp-welcome.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2468\" height=\"1644\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eng.biu.ac.il\/lewitom\/files\/2022\/05\/BK-hello-dark-1024x519.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-341\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of the most exciting phenomena in electromagnetics occur when light interacts with matter at subwavelength scales.
