Particular interest is attracted by resonant metasurfaces, where optical modes provide extreme confinement of light in the nanostructures volume and subsequent enhancement of light-matter interaction. This aspect is essential to boost the efficiency of various phenomena, from optical nonlinearities (e.g., multiphoton interaction like in second-harmonic generation) to reconfiguration mechanisms (i.e., dynamic modulation of the refractive index). In this talk I will survey techniques of controlling light at the nanoscale, focusing on nonlinear and reconfiguration processes, what they offer and what are their limitations.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><u>You don't know POBs?</u></strong><br>\r\nPOBs (Pizza-Optics-Beer) are monthly seminars organized by the student association EPFL Photonics Chapter.<br>\r\nA PhD or a postdoc gives a 20-minutes presentation about his/her research in photonics.

The ultimate research goal of our group is to synthesize nitrogen-containing organic compounds efficiently and directly from N<sub>2</sub> gas as the nitrogen source, bypassing the NH<sub>3</sub>-depended synthetic pathway, mainly via metal-mediated or catalyzed dinitrogen functionalization.<sup>1</sup><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<img alt=\"\" id=\"_x0000_i1025\" o:ole=\"\" src=\"file:///C:/Users/mborcard/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.emz\"><br>\r\n<img alt=\"\" id=\"图片_x0020_1\" src=\"file:///C:/Users/mborcard/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.emz\"><br>\r\n<br>\r\nAt this presentation, I will briefly introduce two results recently realized in my research group. One result is about the transformation and mechanism on efficient first-step and second-step N<sub>2</sub> electrophilic functionalization of L<sub>n</sub>Cr-N<sub>2</sub> metal dinitrogen complexes.<sup>2</sup> The other result is on the synthesis of nitrogen-containing organic compounds via LiNCNLi formed from N<sub>2</sub> gas and carbon by synergizing the heterogeneous synthetic approach with the homogeneous synthetic methodology.<sup>3</sup><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><em>References</em></strong><strong><em>:</em></strong><br>\r\n<strong>1.</strong> Lv, Z.-J.; Wei, J.; Zhang, W.-X.; Chen, P.; Deng, D.; Shi, Z.-J.; Xi, Z. <em>Natl.
