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

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 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 @StanfordPhoton1). 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…

Had a lot of fun supervising Arturo with Stijn Poelman last year. Nice to see that his results got him a award! :)

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.

Had a great time at CLEO-PR last week in Korea. Got to show the Pacific Rim how well (or perhaps not so well) our transfer-printed saturable absorbers are currently working. 😀🇰🇷 Photonics UGent

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!

Took a train down to the Kippenberg group with some colleagues to see how they generate frequency combs from microrings. Started to wonder if the secret to publishing Nature papers is being surrounded by a lot of nice and highly distracting nature? Photonics UGent #EPFL

Kasper Van Gasse staat mee aan de wieg van een van de "Top 10 Breakthroughs of the Year in physics for 2024" van #PhysicsWorld: shorturl.at/KdDx8. Een uitgebreider artikel over de ontwikkeling van deze nieuwe titanium:sapphire laser verscheen eerder dit jaar in #Nature
