Selected Publications


Stability of optical knots in atmospheric turbulence.

Journal Article Nature communications · March 2025 Topology advances the understanding of many branches of science and technology, from elementary particle physics to condensed matter physics. While the topological stability of mathematical knots implies robustness to perturbations and suggests their poten ... Full text Cite

Near-infrared to ultra-violet frequency conversion in chalcogenide metasurfaces.

Journal Article Nature communications · October 2021 Chalcogenide photonics offers unique solutions for a broad range of applications from mid-infrared sensing to integrated, ultrafast, ultrahigh-bandwidth signal processing. However, to date its usage has been limited to the infrared part of the electromagne ... Full text Open Access Cite

Robust topologically protected transport in photonic crystals at telecommunication wavelengths.

Journal Article Nature nanotechnology · January 2019 Photonic topological insulators offer the possibility to eliminate backscattering losses and improve the efficiency of optical communication systems. Despite considerable efforts, a direct experimental demonstration of theoretically predicted robust, lossl ... Full text Cite

Author Correction: Robust topologically protected transport in photonic crystals at telecommunication wavelengths.

Journal Article Nature nanotechnology · January 2019 In the version of this Letter originally published, Fig. 5g in the Supplementary Information was missing the scale bar. This has now been corrected. ... Full text Cite
