Optics in 2022 & Beyond

Posting is a bit less often than usual since I'm on holiday.

My thoughts on what will be big in topological photonics next year have been published in the December issue of Optics & Photonics News. Previously I posted some initial thoughts on hot emerging topics. In the end I chose topological lasers and photonic crystal waveguides as directions likely to see increased attention in the coming year, and indeed interesting preprints on topological photonic crystal waveguides and polariton lasing have appeared since I submitted my paragraph.

In a broad sense, all of the predictions this year highlight advances in light sources and their potential applications in imaging and communication systems.
