Designing Dirac vortex topological photonic crystal fibres
Optical fibres made of topological photonic crystals allow improved versatility and control across the modes and polarization of light they transmit. Compositionally, photonic crystals contain bandgaps to prevent the passage of light relative to spec.....»»
Study casts doubt on the real efficacy of stock options as a way of rewarding manager performance
Designing an efficient compensation method for the managers of a business is a key element in ensuring a healthy ownership transition when a firm is sold, according to a new paper by Moritz Hiemann of Bocconi's Department of Accounting, published in.....»»
Creating vortices in a superfluid made of light
By using a special combination of laser beams as a very fast stirrer, RIKEN physicists have created multiple vortices in a quantum photonic system and tracked their evolution. This system could be used to explore exotic new physics related to the eme.....»»
