Funded Activity Summary

Light control in nonlinear periodic structures. New technologies for precise control of light in microstructured periodic materials hold promises for breakthroughs in all-optical computing and communication areas. This project will develop novel concepts and innovative techniques to dynamically induce periodic structures in highly nonlinear materials for active control of light by light itself. It will combine experiment and theory to reveal and engineer the key aspects of light propagation in these structures, such as beam shaping and interactions. The outcome of this fundamental research will open-up new directions for technological advances in the photonics industry, with applications in all-optical switching and information storage.
