C2N and the University of Chile in Santiago collaborate within the international Poseidon project.

The C2N and the University of Chile in Santiago are working together through an International collaboration called Poseidon, an International Emerging Action project (IEA – 2024-2025) funded by the CNRS. The project explores how solitonic-type structures  propagate in discrete lattices of nonlinear photonic cells. The work combines theory, numerical simulations and experimental work carried out in liquid crystal light valves in Santiago and coupled semiconductor excitable micropillar lasers in …
