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.

Latest News

  • New publication in Nature Photonics
    We are pleased to share our latest research, “Surface acoustic wave Brillouin photonics on a silicon nitride chip,” published in Nature Photonics. In this work, a collaboration between the University of Twente and McMaster University, we achieved strong stimulated Brillouin scattering on a standard silicon nitride platform by adding a thin layer of tellurium oxide. … Continue reading New publication in Nature Photonics →
  • David and Riley at WOMBAT
    David and Riley recently represented our group at the 5th International Workshop on Optomechanics and Brillouin-Mandelstam Scattering (WOMBAT) in Sydney, Australia. David delivered an invited talk on Brillouin microwave photonics in scalable integration platforms, while Riley presented her work on net-gain Brillouin amplifiers and parametric light sources in double-stripe silicon nitride. Thanks, David and Riley … Continue reading David and Riley at WOMBAT →
  • ERC Proof of Concept Grant
    Our group has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept (PoC) grant for Project SABER (Scalable Brillouin spectrum engineering in thin-film lithium niobate). In this project, we aim to achieve ultra-precise signal filtering for next-generation 6G communication using our in-house fabricated, thin-film lithium niobate-based photonic integrated circuits. The work is also closely aligned with the … Continue reading ERC Proof of Concept Grant →
