• ITMO Scientists Create an Optical Platform That Switches LED Lights in Ten Nanoseconds

  Researchers at ITMO’s Faculty of Physics developed the first-ever all-optically switchable platform that uses a laser beam, not electricity, to turn LEDs on and off. The solution demonstrates a 100,000-fold improvement in switching time compared to electricity-based analogs and offers specialists the flexibility and agility to “draw” and rewrite LED lighting patterns with just a laser. The technology facilitates the design of ultrafast radiation sources for screens, sensors, and systems for data encryption and transmission. The results of the study, supported with the grants from the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the Russian Science Foundation, are published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

• Russian Scientists Develop World's Smallest Blue Laser For Displays

  In collaboration with their colleagues from MIPT’s Center for Photonics and 2D Materials, scientists from ITMO University have devised the world's smallest laser that emits light in the blue spectrum. With a volume 13 times smaller than the wavelength of the produced light, it paves the way for the creation of a new generation of ultra-high-resolution displays and compact biomedical devices. The research is supported by grants from the Russian Science Foundation.

• A High-Efficient Switchable Third Harmonic Source Developed by ITMO Researchers

  A team of scientists from ITMO University have developed a record-thin device that decreases the wavelength of a laser beam by threefold. The process, known as the third harmonic generation, is now more efficient thanks to a 20 nm-thick film made of chalcogenide alloys that generates radiation in a wide range of wavelengths without amplification by nanoresonators and performs 100-1,000 times better than similar devices. The technology will be useful in further research related to tissues and cells in laser scanning microscopes and signal processing in photonic integrated circuits for quantum communication. The corresponding article is published in Laser & Photonics Reviews.
