The results of our close collaboration with the groups of Gennady Shvets (Cornell) and Kobus Kuipers (TU Delft) were published in Science Advances today. We report the observation of a new mechanism for concentrating...

Published today in Nature Photonics: our observation of Landau levels in silicon photonic crystals. By introducing synthetic strain to the crystal geometry, photons are stopped in their tracks as if they were electrons in...

Our work on an optomechanical realization of the bosonic Kitaev chain was published today in Nature. In the paper, we reports a metamaterial with a unique set of properties, including directional amplification and exponential...

Today Jente successfully defended his Thesis titled Optomechanical interactions in plasmonic gap resonators at the TU Eindhoven.Congratulations Dr. Vandermissen!

Today René successfully defended his Thesis titled Topological Control of Light in Photonic Crystals at the TU Eindhoven.Congratulations Dr. Barczyk!

Optica (formerly OSA) has elected Ewold Verhagen as Fellow.Optica elected Verhagen for “outstanding contributions to nanophotonics and optomechanics, and to the understanding of photonic systems with broken spatiotemporal symmetries.”Optica Fellows are selected based on...

Today Roel successfully defended his Thesis titled Nonlinear Optomechanics In Multimode Nanoscale Resonators at the TU Eindhoven.Congratulations Dr. Brugwal!

In a study published in Nature Physics today, we report a phenomenon of unidirectional signal transmission that challenges conventional wisdom about nonreciprocity: Instead of relying on magnetic fields that break time-reversal symmetry, it exploits...

Jesse defended his thesis “Orchestrating nanomechanical motion with light” today. Congratulations dr. Slim! We’re extra proud for the fact that Jesse received the special cum laude distinction, which happens only rarely at Eindhoven University...

I am very honored to have been awarded an ERC Consolidator grant from the European Research Council. This will allow us to explore new frontiers in optomechanics and quantum measurement. A big thank you to...
