This project aims to address the challenges of topological protection in active and tunable photonic elements utilised for compact optical transmitting devices by designing dielectric nanostructures. The rapidly growing demands of information processing have launched a race for compact optical devices transmitting signals without scattering losses. The recent emergence of topological phases of light provides unique opportunities to create new photonic systems immune to scattering losses and disorder increasing the efficiency of light transmission in optical devices. The project expects to advance knowledge in fundamental nanoscale optics and benefit globally important photonic applications, ranging from high-speed data processing and communications to optical storage and low-power nanolasing. This project will provide benefits by uncovering disorder-immune technologies for emerging photonic industries in Australia.

本项目旨在通过设计介电纳米结构来解决用于紧凑型光传输器件的有源和可调谐光子元件的拓扑保护挑战。快速增长的信息处理需求引发了一场紧凑的光器件竞赛，以传输无散射损耗的信号。最近光的拓扑相位的出现为创建新的光子系统提供了独特的机会，使其免受散射损失和无序的影响，从而提高了光学器件中的光传输效率。该项目预计将推进纳米级光学的基础知识，并使全球重要的光子应用受益，从高速数据处理和通信到光存储和低功耗纳米化。该项目将为澳大利亚新兴的光子产业揭示无序免疫技术。
