Topological photonics for enabling high-power lasers
Abstract
Soljacic Abstract: We propose to investigate theoretically a number of novel lasing designs, based on insights from topological photonics: these designs will enable building lasers of substantially larger cavity sizes. This investigation will be supplemented by development of novel theories of lasing, including: optical thermodynamics, new theory of free-electron lasers as well as two-photon lasers, and novel scheme of lasing without inversion. We also propose to perform theoretical and experimental investigation of novel free-electron-based lasing concepts, including lasing in Silicon, as well as topological-lasing in travelling wave tubes.
