Description

Chiral photonics with resonant meta-structures. The project aims to address the big challenges of miniaturising optical elements controlling light handedness and polarisation that are crucial for high-speed information processing. The project will employ artificially engineered nanostructures, and it expects to generate new fundamental knowledge in photonics to enhance optical chirality beyond the limits available in natural materials through optical resonances and the use of novel materials. Expected outcomes include the development of advanced concepts in optics, novel methods in computational photonics, and practical designs and demonstrations of highly efficient chiral nanostructures. This research promises substantial benefits to optical data processing and telecommunications.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4018 - Nanotechnology. Lead: Dr Kirill Koshelev
