Nano-optics: New mechanism for channeling light waves discovered in natural hyperbolic materials
Researchers at the 4th Physics Institute of the University of Stuttgart and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Milan have demonstrated a new mechanism for directing light in a naturally hyperbolic van der Waals material without conventional nanofabricated waveguides. The discovery opens new possibilities for integrated photonics, on-chip optical communication and future quantum…
Researchers at the University of Stuttgart and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Milan have discovered a new mechanism for directing light in naturally hyperbolic materials, eliminating the need for conventional nanofabricated waveguides. This breakthrough in intrinsic plasmon canalization could revolutionize integrated photonics, on-chip optical communication, and future quantum technologies.
