Unlocking the infrared spectrum with quantum devices

By combining confinement inside heterostructures with optical confinement at the micro and nanoscale, new devices are created where electron and photons flows are engineered. This laboratory emphasizes the use of these techniques to unlock the scientific and technological potential of the mid-infrared spectrum.

Multifonctionnal THz coherent sources

Using our expertise in heterostructures optimization, growth and characterization, our laboratory creates inovative devices with enhanced temperature operation points and improved combs spanning to open new technological perspectives in the terahertz frequency domain.

Understanding new matter ground state through ultra strong coupling

By adding our knowledge on resonators and metamaterials our laboratory can observe and measure ultra strong coupling phenomena that lead to a better understanging of matter ground state.  

Exploring THz quantum optics in the void

Our lab developed a state-of-the-art technique that allows us to perform measurements on the vacuum state of electromagnetic radiation that is characterized by fluctuating zero-point electric fields.
