About the project
This project will develop detectors for topologically structured light at the few- and single-photon level, enabling applications in imaging, metrology, and telecommunications.
Recent advances in structuring light in the spatial and temporal domain provide unprecedent control over the topology of light leading to the discovery of exotic forms of light. In particular, topological structuring of quantum light states, e.g. single photon and entangled states, are promising novel applications in telecommunications, imaging, and metrology, to name a few.
The aim of the project is the realization of efficient nanophotonic detectors, sensitive to the topological and quantum properties of the incident radiation.
This project will develop skills and expertise in
- experimental optics
- nanofabrication
- computational electromagnetics
