A research group, jointly led by Professor Shuang Zhang, Interim Head of the Physics Department at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), and Professor Qing Dai of the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology in China, has presented a solution to a common problem in the realm of nanophotonics – the study of light at an extremely small scale.
Their findings, recently published in the prestigious academic journal Nature Materials, propose a synthetic complex frequency wave (CFW) approach to address optical loss in polariton propagation. These findings offer practical solutions such as more efficient light-based devices for faster and more compact data storage and processing in devices such as computer chips and data storage devices, and improved accuracy in sensors, imaging techniques, and security systems.
