• ITMO Physicists Find Way For Ultra-Fast Light Control With a Laser

  Researchers at ITMO have found a way to manipulate light in integral photonic waveguides using laser pulses. Unlike its counterparts, this particular method is thousands of times faster and done fully optically, without mechanical or electrical input. This is thanks to hybrid waves of light and matter, whose properties change when subjected to radiation. The new solution can be used to create ultra-fast optical chips that have the potential to accelerate AI calculations. The results of the study have been published in Applied Physics Letters.
