Nonlinear topological photonics

快速增长的信息处理需求引发了一场无损耗传输信号的紧凑型光学设备的竞争。光的拓扑相位为创造新的光子系统提供了独特的机会，其功能和效率远远超过当前的能力。该项目旨在通过融合非线性光子学和拓扑物理的基本概念，开发在纳米尺度上产生和引导光的新方法。该项目的成果将导致世界上第一个用于先进光学技术的高效、紧凑和无损的非线性光子器件的实验演示。

The rapidly growing demands of information processing have launched a race for compact optical devices transmitting signals without losses. Topological phases of light provides unique opportunities to create new photonic systems with functionalities and efficiencies well beyond current capabilities. This project aims to develop new ways to generate and guide light at the nanoscale by merging fundamental concepts of nonlinear photonics and topological physics. The outcomes of this project will result in experimental demonstration of the world-first, highly efficient, compact, and lossless nonlinear photonic devices for advanced optical technologies.
