• 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.
