Light Localization and Navigation in Optically-Induced Photonic Lattices

摘要

The primary objective of this project is to study light localization and routing in optically-induced photonic bandgap structures, and to promote education and research in optics and photonics at San Francisco State University, one of the national HBCU/MIs. We are happy to report that we made significant accomplishments on controlling light in nonlinear photonic lattices, and successfully completed this funded project. More than 30 scientific research papers have been published in top-rated refereed journals including Physical Review Letters and Optics Letters. Work from these papers have also been selected and featured in premier magazines such as Optics & Photonics News, and have been presented in several invited talks.
