Giuseppe Leo, Professor at Université Paris Cité and head of the DON team at MPQ laboratory, has been elected Senior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), with the title of Fundamental Chair. The role of the Institut Universitaire de France is to...
Aloyse Degiron, CNRS senior researcher at the MPQ laboratory, has just been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant. Aloyse Degiron A Metamaterial-based technology to create Electricity from Light (AMELI) The ERC POC AMELI aims to convert light into electricity using...
Through optomechanical experiments in a semiconductor micro-resonator, researchers from the DON team of the MPQ laboratory, in collaboration with the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, have shown that a coupling between different forms of energy can give rise...
Researchers of the DON team at MPQ lab have obtained the first dielectric optical metasurface generating second harmonic with full phase control. Figure: SEM image of a Fresnel lens designed to focus a second-harmonic signal. Thanks to this breakthrough, they achieved...
The optical realization of a quantum computer, secure quantum communications and imaging requires fast and reliable generation of single photons and their quantum superpositions. Future quantum optical sources should be small as they will need to be integrated into...
Valerio Flavio Gili has been awarded with the Chancellery Prize of the Universities of Paris 2019 for his thesis “All-dielectric nonlinear nanophotonics” carried out under the supervision of Giuseppe Leo. The awards ceremony has taken place in the main...
