Funded Activity Summary

Optical solitons on a photonic chip: unprecedented light control at the nanoscale. Solitons, waves that maintain their shape as they travel, exist in systems as diverse as water waves, molecular biology, and optics. This project explores previously unobservable light propagation regimes in two-dimensional periodic media, photonic crystals. These studies provide unprecedented control of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale.
