Let me share with you my take-home message on this year's SPIE Photonics West | #PhotonicsWest SPIE - It's bigger and better!💥 Roel Baets @UGent Photonics UGent imec ANELLO nature.com/articles/s4156… Nature Photonics's shareable link: rdcu.be/dHz2Z

Our latest work on optical gain & lasing in Colloidal Quantum Shells is now published in ACS Nano, a collaboration between Photonics UGent, PCN at UGent & Mikhail Zamkov's team at Bowling Green State University! Read more: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… Pieter Geiregat Dries Van Thourhout

A new Doctor of Photonics Engineering! A big congrats to Dr. Emmanuel Gooskens!

Researchers at Ghent University Research have published in Advanced Functional Materials, demonstrating high-performance integrated optical modulators - read the article here: doi.org/10.1002/adfm.2… Congratulations to all involved! #science #integratedphotonics

On the 14th June, Dr Mateusz Kotyrba, from Sarcura , will present “Powering New Possibilities in Cell Therapy” at the NB-Photonics Mini-Symposium. His talk, , will be followed by an open discussion about the pioneering work that Sarcura are undertaking.

With a new publication, a new cover as well! Here, a thin film of Quantum Shells on a SiNx photonic crystal is shown. Read all about our work on Colloidal Quantum Shell gain and lasing here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… ACS for Authors Photonics UGent PCN

Our Frequency Combs workshop (Ghent, Sep. 9-10) 🌈⭕️ detailed scientific program is now available! 👀 frequencycomb.be/scientific-pro… Besides science, a boat trip ⛵️ and a dinner in a Belgian brewery are included 🇧🇪🍻 Don't wait time to register 😍

The second Frequency Combs workshop, co-organised by #VISSION leader Bart Kuyken, will take place in Ghent on September 9-10! To find out more, visit the event website at frequencycomb.be #innovation #learning #photonics

The room is starting to fill up for the 9th ePIXfab Silicon Photonics Summer School, which is this year hosted by CORNERSTONE at University of Southampton . Looking forward to exciting expert lectures, inspiring interactions and social activities with the 150 participants. #epixfab24

Impressive work from Kasper Van Gasse (done during his time Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Lab at Stanford). Looking forward to the continuation of his work on solid-state laser integration in our group!

PR- New leap in Belgian quantum communication infrastructure: imec, UGent & Belnet realise first QKD links. This is a big step in the quantum cryptography project, which aims to transmit data 100% safe & uninterceptably, using quantum physics principles. imec-int.com/en/press/new-l…

First QKD-link in BeQCI-network now operational ! engineeringnet.be/nl/nieuws/item… Photonics UGent imec

Monolayer semiconductor superlattices with high optical absorption. Our latest work in ACS Photonics pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… ACS Photonics

Check out our Photonics UGent talks at #CLEOPR24.

Very pleased to see Ivo Tanghe among the #PhDCup finalists! And even more pleased to read that he wants to inform people about the beauty and possibilities of photonics!
