The Dawn of Optoelectronics Chip Revolution
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have successfully integrated laser-induced superconductivity on a chip, opening up new possibilities for optoelectronic applications. Using on-chip non-linear THz spectroscopy, they observed non-linear electrical responses in K3C60 thin films and discovered critical current behavior, providing valuable insights into the physics of superconductivity in quantum materials. This breakthrough paves the way for advancements in the optical manipulation of materials and the development of new devices based on non-equilibrium superconductivity.
