Use of chiral conjugated polymers for the optimization of non-reciprocal effects in nanoparticle aggregates KU Leuven
This project aims to optimize the efficiency of optical isolators. Optical isolators are devices that allow light to pass in one direction, but block it in the opposite one. This is very similar to an electrical diode, which allows a current to flow in only one direction. Optical isolators are important, for example, if one wants to protect lasers from back reflections, which can disturb the laser’s operation. Furthermore, they are a crucial ...
