• ITMO Researchers Unveil New Methods to Control Light for Making Hypersensitive Devices

  Physicists from ITMO and Harbin Engineering University have experimentally proven unique light scattering features in open optical systems with Mie resonators. Thanks to the discovered effects, it’s possible to control light absorption and gain coefficients, enabling high sensitivity of optical systems to external factors. These results pave the way to hypersensitive sensors and optical devices for information processing and transfer. The study was described in a paper published in Science Advances.

• ITMO Physicists Discover Way to Achieve Stimulated Raman Scattering in Isolated Silicon Nanoparticles

  An optimized design of silicon nanoparticles provides а more efficient transition from spontaneous to stimulated Raman scattering. The proposed approach also allowed researchers to reduce the size and volume of particles supporting the stimulated Raman scattering regime by tens of times compared to their existing counterparts. The researchers also designed a platform in the form of a silicon nanoparticle on a sapphire surface that can be applied in sensing, detection, and thermometry, opening up new opportunities for future applications in biomedicine, targeted drug delivery, and as an alternative to electronic devices in optical chips. The results of the research were published in Nano Letters.
