Objective Transformation optics grew out of ideas for invisibility cloaking and exploits connections between electromagnetism in media and in geometries. This Proof of Concept project uses transformation optics for improving on-chip optical communication in silicon photonics. The goal is reaching a performance that matches industry standards such that the idea becomes sufficiently convincing to be commercialized.
