NWO has announced that the collaboration project Nano-WiCom between the departments of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering has been granted in the Open Technology Program. The goal of Nano-WiCom is to realize very low étendue (beamed) and efficient emission at a very fast rate (sub-100 picosecond) and to detect this emission with fast integrated photodetectors. This goal…

On Wednesday July 14th the foundation of the Center for Terahertz Science & Technology Eindhoven (CTSTe) was announced. This center is initiated from a common interest and ambition to be at the forefront of the quickly evolving field of THz science, to push THz technology forward, and to apply this technology in different fields relevant for society.
On June 3rd, 2021 has Niels van Hoof defended his Ph.D. thesis titled “Mapping Ultrafast Electric Fields using Terahertz Microscopy”. During his Ph.D., Niels has developed a unique THz near-field microscope that has enabled the investigation of resonances in surfaces at THz frequencies that were inaccessible before. The Cursor has written an article about Niels’…

We have studied the diffusion of singlet and triplet excitons in tetracene crystals, a prototype singlet fission material, using ultrafast microscopy techniques. Upon laser excitation, triplets diffuse steadily while the singlet exciton distribution narrows, corresponding to an effective negative singlet diffusion. This counterintuitive result is explained by nonlinear triplet‒triplet annihilation. View the article in the Journal…

We gladly announce that EuFlex/Technificient has supported our crowdfunding initiative to transform 9 experimental setups in remotely controlled setups, which will allow our students to continue their work in the lab from home, even in the case of a second lockdown or in quarantine. EuFlex/Technificient is a TU/e subsidiary acting as a matchmaker between the…

Check out our video in youtube about how to keep working in the laboratory during lockdown periods.
In our recently published manuscript, we demonstrate the strong coupling of electric and magnetic resonances in arrays of silicon nanoparticles with excitons in organic layers. This manuscript published in ACS Photonics has been selected by the journal as one of the most relevant results published over the past 12 months and highlighted during the celebration…
