Objective Summary

The primary goal of this initiative is to design, build, and test a device that uses geometric phase (also known as Berry phase) to amplify laser light in the telecom band (wavelength ~ 1,550 nm). The device will use radio-frequency modulation of linear, lossy elements to produce optical amplification that outperforms existing technologies in parameter regimes of interest to DOW

The full objective, description, Phase I, II and III requirements and evaluation criteria are in the official topic on DSIP.
