Silicon Nanoparticles Trained to Juggle Light
…ng signals need to be flexibly processed. This requires the use of a reconfigurable antenna, i.e. one whose characteristics (e.g. its radiation pattern) can be changed in a specific manner during signal processing. One possible solution relies on the use of a non-linear antenna, which can be switched by theincident light itself. Denis Baranov, a Ph.D. student at M…
