• 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.

• Scientists Create Antilaser for Bose-Einstein Condensate of Ultracold Atoms

  An international team of scientists has developed the world's first antilaser for the coherent perfect absorption of waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate of ultracold atoms. For the first time, scientists have demonstrated the fundamental possibility of this process for the waves propagating in a nonlinear medium. The obtained results can be used to manipulate superfluid flows, create atomic lasers, and also study nonlinear optical systems. The results were published in Science Advances.

• ITMO Helps Train Optical Systems Design Specialists in Collaboration with European Union

  ITMO University has successfully completed its participation in the ADOPSYS (ADvancedOPticalSYStemDesign) project, conducted as part of the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme’s Marie Curie international mobility fellowship. The project aims to train elite young specialists in the field of applied optics. Per the grant’s provisions, the university was to educate a European student on the design of applied optical systems. Project work was conducted at ITMO’s Research Laboratory for Computer-Aided Design of Optical-Information and Energy Saving Systems.
