A new way to detect stabilizing properties of optical devices

In optical fibers, chips and other light-guiding devices, minor defects can scatter photons and disrupt their path.

In optical fibers, chips and other light-guiding devices, minor defects can scatter photons and disrupt their path. A new study demonstrates a way to reveal properties which, in certain systems, help light wave behavior withstand such flaws. The method could help speed up the search for new kinds of electronics and optical technologies, and contribute to more reliable quantum devices.
