From the topic

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
