Nanolaser based on extremely confined nonradiative state (EXTREME)

Nanolaser based on extremely confined nonradiative state (EXTREME)  
 
A fundamental problem of photonic integrated circuits, hindering their large-scale application, is that their size is orders of magnitude larger than electronic integrated circuits. This project aims to exploit a new type of optical state - extremely confined nonradiative state, and to use such a state to construct lasers at the nanoscale to address this fundamental challenge for chip-scale computing and communication. The grant will fund one PhD student, one postdoc, and equipment.
