OLINOS will develop coherent diffraction imaging of nanoparticles on surfaces and at the proximity of the surface in polymers to increase lateral resolution. By recording optical images using a scanning optical fiber in the proximity of an...

The goal on this project is to develop an original near-infrared (NIR) optical imaging system for whole animal and deep tissue imaging at high resolution and high sensibility. Optical imaging through the NIR window (650-1000nm) provides deep...

Ge2Sb2Te5 alloys show resistivity variations of several orders of magnitude depending on their local atomic structure which can be manipulated through thermal treatment. For this reason, these materials are foreseen by STMicroelectronics, a member...

The field of nano-optics is nowadays mainly driven by plasmonics since noble metal nanoantennas support surface plasmon resonances that can be used to manipulate, concentrate or redirect visible light. These appealing properties have led to...

The origin of high-temperature superconductivity in copper-oxides is yet an unsolved problem in condensed matter physics. It is widely agreed that the main difficulty lies in the extremely complex nature of the pseudogap state. Indeed, the cuprate...

Generating ultrashort pulses of light or matter waves requires to coherently manipulate a broad spectrum of frequency or wavevectors both in amplitude and phase. Pulse shaping and characterization techniques are very advanced for femtosecond and...
