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…

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…

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…

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…

A take-off grant (phase 1) of NWO has been awarded to develop a market and technical analysis of the terahertz near-field microscope for the inspection of semiconductor thin films. This project will be done in close collaboration with our start-up company TeraNova b.v.
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…

Together with our collaborators from Kyoto University, we are proud to contribute to the special issue in ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology in the honor of Prof. Isamu Akasaki. In this manuscript we investigate the optical absorption of emitter layers deposited on diffractive arrays of silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticle using an…

From 11th to 13th of February, the second PhotonDelta Application Bootcamp was held at TU/e. Niels van Hoof participated as an expert in the field, trying to come up with solutions for Hendrix Genetics with the use of integrated photonics. The challenge was set on measuring conventional egg properties. The company was enthusiastic about the…
