Active photonic and plasmonic components based on parity-time symmetry

该项目旨在通过实验揭示和证明非线性光子学和等离子体动力学中空间和时间对称性的作用，光可以改变介质的光学特性。基于这些结果，该项目旨在建立一个集成的光信号放大器和一个集成的纠缠光子发生器，具有以前无法实现的超快宽范围控制操作状态。这些系统将在未来的光通信网络中得到应用，确保快速、安全和节能的数据传输。

This project intends to uncover and demonstrate experimentally the role of symmetry in space and time in nonlinear photonics and plasmonics, where light can change the optical properties of the medium. Based on these results, the project aims to build an integrated optical signal amplifier and an integrated generator of entangled photons with previously inaccessible ultra-fast broad-range control of operating regimes. These systems would have applications in future optical communication networks, ensuring fast, secure and energy efficient data transmission.
