The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $416,059 Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FIRST-PRINCIPLE CONTROL OF NOVEL RESONANCES IN NON-HERMITIAN PHOTONIC MEDIA" under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This grant supports integrated research, education, and outreach focused on studying a novel behavior of light within solid materials. The researchers aim to establish a complex non-Hermitian photonic environment through first-principle control of the imaginary part of the refractive index. This will demonstrate a new type of light-matter interaction governed by the system's non-Hermiticity. The project combines theoretical and experimental research to design photonic active resonators that can enable robust, intrinsic single-mode lasing with ultra-broadband tunability. These advancements are expected to enhance the functionality of photonic devices used in optical communications and computing.
