Recently, researchers have been investigating novel approaches of beam splitting in the context of topological photonics1, a burgeoning field that explores the topological properties of photonic ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220001 overviews configurable topological beam splitting via antichiral gyromagnetic photonic crystal. Topological insulators, ...

For the first time, researchers develop a 2D photonic-crystal Y-splitter that operates near communication wavelengths. US scientists claim to have developed the first 2D photonic-crystal Y-splitter ...

"Then, after going through the frequency beam splitter, the photon will leave as two frequencies, so it will be both red and blue." The members of this team were the first researchers to successfully ...

Until quite recently, creating a hologram of a single photon was believed to be impossible due to fundamental laws of physics. However, scientists have now successfully applied concepts of classical ...
