AbstractNon-technical description: This project brings together researchers from USA and Germany to develop a new class of optical materials that can control light in unusual and highly customizable ways. These semiconductor materials, which we refer to as tunable anisotropic chalcogenides for optics have the potential to enable faster light-based communication systems, improved sensors, mixed reality displays, photon routers for quantum computing, and advanced tools for laser-based manufacturing.
