Researchers have created a disk-like nanostructure that dramatically improves light frequency conversion efficiency. This innovation in photonics combines material and optical resonances in a compact form, paving the way for advanced optical and photonic applications.
Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, have for the first time succeeded in combining two major research fields in photonics by creating a nanoobject with unique optical qualities. Since the object is a thousand times thinner than a human hair, yet very powerful, the breakthrough has great potential in the development of efficient and compact nonlinear optical devices. “My feeling is that this discovery has a great potential,” says Professor Timur Shegai, who led the study at Chalmers.
