A new technology allows light to be “designed” into desired forms, potentially making AI and communication technologies faster and more accurate. A KAIST research team has developed an “integrated photonic resonator”—a core component of next-generation optical integrated circuits that process data using light. Interestingly, the research was led by an undergraduate student. This technology is expected to serve as a key foundation for next-generation security technologies such as highspeed data processing and quantum communication.

The resonator developed by the research team of Professor Sangsik Kim from the School of Electrical Engineering, in collaboration with Professor Jae Woong Yoon’s t...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new class of integrated photonic devices – “leaky-wave metasurfaces” – that can convert light initially confined in an optical waveguide to an arbitrary optical pattern in free space...
