Research from Rostock, Würzburg, and Indiana demonstrates lossless light propagation in environmentally interacting systems, using laser-written waveguides. Robust, stable signal propagation is observed without losses.

A research team from Rostock, Würzburg and Indiana has shown for the first time that light can propagate without loss in systems that interact with their environment. For their experiments, they used laser-written waveguides as shown here - these are optical structures written into a material by a laser beam. Here, the light signal can propagate robustly and stably and without losses (Photo credit: Julia Tetzke/University of Rostock).
