Scientists of the Faculty of Photonics and Optoinformatics have developed a method of encoding information for the 6G standard

The information encoding method for 6G standard Scientists from the Faculty of Photonics and Optoinformatics at ITMO University have developed a method for coding information in the terahertz pulse. This method can be used to create wireless data transmission devices in the 6G standard. Such systems will accelerate data exchange by two to three orders of magnitude. Today, scientists around the world are working on ways to transfer data in the terahertz (THz) range, which would make it possible to send and receive information much faster than what is allowed by today’s technology. But the issue they’re facing is that it is much more difficult to encode data in the THz range than in the GHz range, which is currently used by 5G tech. A group of scientists from the laboratory of Femtosecond optics and femtotechnologies has demonstrated the possibility of modifying terahertz pulses in order to use them for data transmission. An article on this subject was published in Scientific Reports (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-66437-4) .

Scientists of International Institute of Photonics and Optoinformatics at ITMO University won the Ministry of Science and Education Grant

At the end of December 2019, the results of scientific projects bid carried out by teams of research centers and scientific laboratories of higher educational institutions subordinate to the Russian Ministry of Education and Science were summed up. The project developed by scientists from the International Institute of Photonics and Optoinformatics of ITMO University won this competition. The project “Quantum dynamics and correlation measurements of multimode photonic systems and topologically non-trivial polarization states” has received the status “performed within the framework of the state assignment in the field of science”, with appropriate funding from the federal budget.

Scientists of the International Institute «Photonics and Optical Information Technology» of ITMO University for the first time in the world measured nonlinearities in the terahertz frequency range.

Researchers from Laboratory of Femtosecond Optics and Femtotechnologies of ITMO University have, for the first time in history, managed to directly measure the nonlinear refractive index of matter in the terahertz range. The results of their experiments were compared with previously existing theoretical predictions in order to confirm the presence of nonlinear effects. The obtained data can be used to control light, as well as in fundamental and biomedical research. The results have been published in Optics Express.

Physicists of the International Institute «Photonics and Optical Informatics» Conduct Study of Terahertz Radiation in Liquids

A research team from ITMO University and the University of Rochester (the USA) have conducted a study on the formation of terahertz radiation in liquids. Previously, the generation of such radiation in a liquid medium was considered impossible due to high absorption. However, in their new research, the scientists described this phenomenon’s physical nature and demonstrated that liquid radiation sources can be equally effective to traditional ones. The results have been published in Applied Physics Letters Nov. 1, 2018. The Editors felt that this article was one of the journal's best, and have chosen to promote it as a Featured Article.

Leading scientists of the International Institute of Photonics and Optoinformatics made presentations at the largest international forum «IRMMW-THz 2018».

Leading scientists of the International Institute of Photonics and Optoinformatics of ITMO University took part in the 43rd international conference on infrared, millimeter and terahertz waves "IRMMW-THz 2018", which was held from 9 to 14 September in Nagoya, Japan. This conference dates back to 1974 and is the best known largest continuous forum specifically dedicated to the field of microwave electronics and applications. The conference venue alternates between Europe, Asia and America in a three-year cycle. Every year the conference gathers more than five hundred participants from all over the world. Year by year the interest to the conference only grows, the geography and the number of its participants expands. This year the conference was attended by about 800 people with 392 oral and 335 poster presentations.

Quantum network connects young scientists from Russia and U.S.

Nine students from the Institute of Optics (Rochester, USA) have arrived to ITMO University to participate in the Summer Research camp in Photonics–2016. They spent two summer weeks there not only for sightseeing, but also learning about the emerging practical applications of femtosecond optics, terahertz biomedicine and quantum information technologies. Together with their ITMO fellows, two guests, Eric Herbert and Barry Magenya, were involved in unique quantum communications project.
