Objective
The main goal of StEnSo is to explore a new concept of spatial light modulators based on strain engineering of two-dimensional semiconducting materials. Spatial light modulators allow for the creation of two-dimensional light patterns and have found many applications in photonics: image projection, holography, aberrations correction, laser surgery, optical tweezers, etc. These devices typically consist of an array of pixels that individually control the phase or amplitude of light passing through it or reflecting off it. In StEnSo I will exploit the large refractive index tunability of 2D semiconducting materials upon mechanical deformation, studied in my ERC StG 2D-TOPSENSE, to fabricate a new concept of spatial light modulator device.
