• PhD Student Ida Kublanova: Why Photonics Is Like a Unicorn

  At school, Ida Kublanova was fascinated by optical experiments and intrigued by photonics. So, she decided to pursue a career in this field – and she has no regrets: now she’s a PhD student engaged in several major projects. In her spare time, she explains photonics to kids in a podcast and plays intellectual games. She also compares photonics to unicorns. Why? Read on to find out.

• Bright New Dawn of Light-Guided Photonics: How the Next Generation of Fiber-Optic Device is Made

  Light-guided photonics is one of the most rapidly developing disciplines of modern physics. Cutting-edge research in this field fosters the creation of new measuring systems for practically any physical value out there; one example is gyroscopes, which are integral for the effective operation of navigation systems. These next-gen optical fiber devices are the focus of ITMO University’s Laboratory of Alignment and Assembly of Light-Guided Photonic Devices, which is part of the Research Institute of Light-Guided Photonics headed by Prof. Igor Meshkovsky. ITMO.NEWS met with the Laboratory’s Head Stanislav Aksarin to learn about its creation and its current work.
