Vision
Our group performs research on advanced integrated photonic structures as platforms to enhance and control nonlinear and optomechanical interactions of light with matter. We pursue applications in next-generation microwave photonic signal processing systems and advanced light sources.
We are part of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. Information about the NLNP group can also be found here.

Open Positions
We have several open positions for postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates to join our team. Details can be found in the vacancies page.

- EIC Pathfinder GrantOur group is part of the new European project, ULTRAPURE, funded by the EIC Pathfinder programme. In this project, we will focus on developing ultra-low noise laser sources, which are critical for precise atomic clocks, next-generation communication networks, and quantum technologies. Over the next three years, we will work with our partners: TU Braunschweig, Thales … Continue reading EIC Pathfinder Grant
- Our new spin-offWe are excited to announce that our group’s spin-off company, Sabratha, officially launched last week! The company will focus on developing high-speed modulators and unique optical and RF filters on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuits. This venture marks an exciting step in translating our cutting-edge academic research into commercial products that address the … Continue reading Our new spin-off
- Steven graduatedOn November 11th, Steven successfully defended his PhD thesis: ‘Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Scalable Integrated Photonic Platforms’. Steven’s contributions to our research have been instrumental. He successfully characterized the SBS response on thin-film lithium niobate and went on to demonstrate the first Brillouin laser on this platform. Furthermore, he expanded the field’s knowledge by providing … Continue reading Steven graduated
