SOFT MATTER PLATFORM FOR OPTICAL DEVICES VIA ENGINEERING OF NON-LINEAR TOPOLOGICAL STATES OF LIGHT

Project description

Twists of light and 'collapsing' matter spur liquid crystals to new heights

Photonics and optoelectronics, interrelated fields that harness the exotic and unique properties of packets of light, are revolutionising the ways in which we package, store, transmit and analyse information. The EU-funded TopoLight project is planning an exponential increase in what may be possible through the integration of cutting-edge light-matter phenomena in a novel soft matter platform. The project will harness Nobel prize-winning Bose-Einstein condensates – the room-temperature variety for practical applications – and topological states of light. The platform will charge room-temperature BEC research and applications and support the development of novel topological photonics devices and new ways to encode information.
