A microlaser emitting helical light
Researchers recently demonstrated the realization of an integrated microlaser based on a novel design that allows emitting light in chiral modes, thus producing corkscrews of light. An object is said to be chiral if it can be distinguished …

Polariton condensates break a speed record
News (in French) from Institut de Physique (INP) of CNRS - 11 March 2019 Polaritons are half-light, half-matter, bosonic quasi-particules that are able to condensate in a single quantum state. For the first time, these usually quasi-immobile assemblies …
