  • New Study from ITMO: Waveguides Made Invisible to Each Other in 2D Lattice

    Physicists from ITMO and University of Chile have demonstrated mutual invisibility in a waveguide lattice for the first time. With this alignment, adjacent waveguides don’t exchange light: upon entering the lattice, light doesn’t scatter and instead remains a limited area. Conducted with support from the Russian Science Foundation grant No. 24-72-10069, the study was described in a paper published in Nano Letters.

  • Project-Based Master’s Program – ITMO’s Higher School of Engineering Offers a New Approach to Education

    It often happens that students graduate from universities equipped with profound theoretical knowledge but with no experience of applying it in practice. That leads them to spend several years adapting to the actual labor market conditions instead of using their full potential in their field.

  • 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.
