Funded Activity Summary

Active Control of Light for Nonlinear Photonic Devices. In free space, light travels in a straight line, but since ancient times mankind has always sought to direct its propagation. Controlling light is an enduring problem in modern photonic technologies. The ultimate goal is to actively manipulate light propagation in space and time with a great accuracy. With this project we will investigate the fundamental science of active control of light in periodic structures and will provide a unique platform for exploration of ground breaking optical physics, ensuring Australia remains a world leader in the field. Precision manipulation of light will form the basis of new techniques for all-optical signal processing and computing, with great impact on Australian photonic and defense industries.
