Robin Buijs defends PhD thesis
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.
Quantifying topological protection of light on a chip
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 defended her Ph. D. thesis.
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!
Topology protects light propagation in photonic crystal
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...

Vibrations on a chip feel a magnetic field
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 defended his Ph.D. thesis

Poster prize for Robin Buijs at NANOMETA2019
Robin Buijs won second prize for his poster presented at the 7th International Topical Meeting on Nanophotonics and Metamaterials (NANOMETA 2019) held in Seefeld, Austria. Congratulations to Robin!
A microscopic roundabout for light
We published our work on building an on-chip optical circulator in Nature Communications. This work was done in collaboration with our colleagues at UT Austin. We were able to demonstrate tunable optical circulation at...
