Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
I trust you had a relaxing weekend.
It was wonderful to see the return of in-person School seminar series last week with the first being delivered by Dr Rose Ahlefeldt (above). While we are waiting on the AV in the new auditorium to be finalised all seminars are scheduled for the Huxley Lecture Theatre.
Cyber Alert: Some of you will have received phishing emails purporting to be from various members of ANU staff (VC, me and others). Please be vigilant, check the origin of all emails before replying or clicking on links. Click here: Report any suspicious emails to ANU IT. Pulse has three informative short videos on cybersecurity, please check them out.
Starting in June, we will be gradually moving groups into the new building. We will be coordinating through Heads with notices coming out from School administration to individuals one week ahead of their scheduled move. Please note that there will be moving boxes made available as your turn comes, as well as removalists on hand to help.
Advance notice that Research Services Division will be hosting a seminar on the Defence Export Control Act, delivered by Defence experts on Monday 27 June. I will be posting details in the coming weeks.
Have a good week,
Tim |

Multiphoton Photoluminescence From Subwavelength Resonators |
|
The team from Nonlinear Physics Center (Department of Fundamental and Theoretical Physics), with collaborators from the Korea University and University of Brescia (Italy) reported the observation of five-photon luminescence from a single subwavelength nanoantenna at room temperature. They demonstrated that the interplay of the Mie multipolar modes can enhance the efficiency of the five-photon luminescence by at least four orders of magnitude. » read more
