From IT to black holes: Nano-control of light pioneers new paths

Thursday, April 7, 2016 - 15:00 in Physics & Chemistry

A research team has achieved unparalleled levels of control over the angular momentum (AM) of light in an integrated nanophotonic chip. The work leads the way for compact on-chip AM applications like ultra-high definition display, ultra-high capacity optical communication and ultra-secure optical encryption, and could also be used to help scientists better understand the evolution and nature of black holes.
