The first demonstrations of coherent conversion of mid-infrared light to visible frequencies were reported in Science. The stunning experiments performed in Christophe Galland’s lab at EPFL show the principle of molecular optomechanical upconversion beautifully....

On July 3, our former post-doc Johneph Sukham passed away in a tragic accident. Johneph worked in our group from 2019 until last December, when he moved to the Walter Meissner Institute in Germany....

Today Robin defended his thesis ‘Nano-optical sensing and metrology through near- to far-field transduction’ successfully. Congratulations Robin! Masterfully done! We hope you enjoy your next challenges at ASML.

Photonic topological insulators are currently at the forefront of on-chip photonic research due to their potential for loss-free information transport. Realized in photonic crystals, they enable robust propagation of optical states along domain walls....

Giada La Gala successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis entitled “Glanching at tiny vibrations” on the 2nd of July 2020 at the Eindhoven University of Technology. Congratulations to Giada!

From Amolf.nl: Topology protects light propagation in photonic crystal Researchers of AMOLF and TU Delft have seen light propagate in a special material without it suffering from reflections. The material, a photonic crystal, consists...

We are happy to announce that our most recent publication in Nature Nanotechnology is featured on the cover! Read the publication Read the press release

From Amolf.nl: Using light to couple the strings of a nanoscopic guitar AMOLF physicists have made mechanical vibrations on a chip behave as if they were electrical currents flowing in a magnetic field. Because...

Nikhil Parappurath successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis entitled “Chiral flow of light in photonic crystals with broken symmetries” on 3rd July 2019 at the Eindhoven University of Technology. Congratulations to Nikhil!
