• ITMO Scientists Develop Topological Defect Detection Method

  …velength. The resulting near-field map lets them draw conclusions about the topology of the object’s photonic bands. For instance, it is possible to determine if the object contains any topological edge states, and to what degree they are protected from scattering in areas with defects or non-uniformity. Scientists from ITMO University together with their colleagu…
