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.

  • Visit from Alvaro Casas Bedoya
    We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Alvaro Casas Bedoya from the University of Sydney at our lab. We showed him our current research across our lab facilities and the cleanroom. Afterward, Dr. Casas Bedoya gave a fascinating colloquium to the members of our Applied Nanophotonics department. We truly enjoyed our discussions with him during … Continue reading Visit from Alvaro Casas Bedoya →
  • ECIO 26
    Last week, we attended the European Conference on Integrated Optics (ECIO) in Zurich, Switzerland. We delivered four oral presentations and enjoyed the scientific and technical discussions at the conference. Akshay presented on Brillouin lasers on a foundry silicon nitride platform. Zheng demonstrated thermoelastic acousto-optic modulation in our in-house silicon nitride chips. Riley showed net-gain Brillouin … Continue reading ECIO 26 →
  • Jitse graduated
    On June 10th, Jitse Boonstra successfully defended his Master’s thesis: “Brillouin Lasing in Foundry Si3N4 Switchable Light Sources”. In his work, Jitse demonstrated Brillouin lasers in programmable photonic molecules by effectively controlling their mode splitting. He also observed four-wave mixing and second- and third-harmonic generation effects in this platform. We are very excited that Jitse … Continue reading Jitse graduated →
