EuFlex/Technificient supports remote setups
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…

Polaritons in Physical Chemistry
Our manuscript “Light–Matter Coupling Strength Controlled by the Orientation of Organic Crystals in Plasmonic Cavities” has been included in a new Virtual Issue on “Polaritons in Physical Chemistry”. This issue features recent experimental and theory papers from The Journal of Physical Chemistry A/B/C and The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters that describe the spectroscopy and…

Crowdfunding for Remote Setups
During the lockdown months of March, April, and May all the labs got closed and the experimental research went into standby. All? not really. Niels van Hoof could continue his work from home with his fully remotely controlled setup. Niels is now writing the first and only scientific manuscript with experiments that were done during…

Light–Matter Coupling Strength Controlled by the Orientation of Organic Crystals in Plasmonic Cavities
In our just accepted manuscript in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C, we demonstrate the coupling of excitons in tetracene crystals to optical modes in open cavities formed by anisotropic arrays of plasmonic nanoparticles and investigate the coupling strength as a function of the alignment to the cavity field. This alignment is realized by rotating…

Strong light–matter coupling and exciton-polariton condensation in lattices of plasmonic nanoparticles
Read our review on strong light-matter coupling and condensation of exciton-polaritons in arrays of nanoparticles published as an invited review in the Journal of the Optical Society of America B.
Lattice resonances in dielectric metasurfaces
Our numerical investigation of lattice resonances in periodic arrays of Si Mie scatterers has been published as an invited manuscript in the special issue Semiconductor Nanoresonators and Metasurfaces of the Journal of Applied Physics. Read more here.
Mohammad Ramezani defends his PhD thesis
We congratulate Mohammad for the achievement of his doctor degree. The PhD defense took place at the Eindhoven University of Technology on April 24th.
Diffraction enhanced transparency in a hybrid gold-graphene THz metasurface
Our manuscript Diffraction Enhanced Transparency in a Hybrid Gold-Graphene THz Metasurface published in APL Photonics. Herein, we measure the near-field in arrays of THz resonators having a transparency window. A monolayer of graphene is sufficient to suppress the transparency.
