Discovery Early Career Researcher Award - Grant ID: DE190100430

Funded Activity Summary

Active topological photonics with all-dielectric nanostructures. 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.
