Photonics Laboratory

We study the interaction of light with nano-structured materials. In particular, we are interested in controlling and enhancing the light-matter interaction with suitably engineered nanostructures, such as optical antennas or resonators. The manipulation of optical fields at the nanometer scale is important for enhancing the performance and efficiency of photodetectors, light emitting devices and optical sensors.
