Enhanced Optical Rulers from Nonlinear SNAP Resonators

This project brings together leading Canadian and European researchers to explore a new type of tiny optical device called a SNAP resonator, which can guide and control light with extreme precision. These devices may play an important role in future technologies such as environmental sensing, low-energy optical computing, and advanced communication systems. During a 12-week visit to Concordia University, the researcher will work closely with experts to develop new theoretical models that explain how light behaves inside these resonators, helping to interpret ongoing experiments and guide future ones. The collaboration will strengthen both institutions by combining Concordia’s world-class experimental facilities with the visitor’s specialised expertise in light-based physics, opening new research directions and supporting long-term international partnerships.
