Description
At the Nanophotonics research group the emphasis is given to basic research as well as development of key nanophotonic technologies for hybrid high-performance and industry-ready opto-electronic devices. This includes state-of-the-art fabrication and characterization techniques such as Helium ion microscopy and laser scanning microscopy/spectroscopy.
We are a multidisciplinary team consisting of researchers from field of physics, chemistry and engineering. We have several national, European and international research projects running, and you can decide to join the already existing experiments, as well as start your own independent experiment. For all the activities you will receive support and supervision from the relevant supervisor.
