Philippe Lalanne

Philippe Lalanne serves as Professor at the Institut d'Optique Graduate School, Paris-Sud University, and Directeur de Recherche at CNRS, specializing in computational electrodynamics and nanophotonics with expertise in subwavelength optical structures for plasmonics, photonic crystals, and metamaterials applications.

His academic credentials include:

• Agrégation de Sciences Physiques and M.S. in Solid State Physics (1986)
• PhD in Physics (1989) from University of Orsay
• Habilitation à diriger les recherches (1996) from University of Orsay

Lalanne's research focuses on modal methods for nanophotonic device analysis, contributing to breakthroughs in extraordinary optical transmission, microcavity confinement, and semiconductor photon sources. His work bridges theoretical computational models with practical implementations in diffractive optics and integrated photonics systems, evidenced by over 100 journal publications.

His accolades comprise:

• CNRS Bronze Medal (1993)
• Fabry de Gramont Prize from Société Française d'Optique (1998)
• Fellowship in Institute of Physics, Optical Society of America, and SPIE

Professional memberships include European Optical Society, Optical Society of America, and IEEE LEOS. During 2010, he delivered a four-part lecture series as Carl Zeiss Visiting Professor at Jena's Faculty of Physics and Astronomy covering modal methods, nanophotonic devices, Wood's anomaly, and optical surface waves on metals.
