Master thesis subjects
At the Physics and Chemistry of Nanostructures group, we attempt to combine the power of nanotechnology , which allows for near-endless tunabiility of optical properties of semiconductor materials, with advanced optical characterization methods to address the growing demands of the photonics community. The latter is pursuing low cost, energy efficient light sources, modulators and detectorors for applications in lighting, tele - and datacommunication and , as of recent, also quantum optics/communication.
As such, PCN focuses on:
- Materials chemistry
- Advanced optical characterization: Materials are investigated using femtosecond pump-probe and fluorescence spectroscopy, single photon senstive microscopy and cryogenic spectroscopy.
- Photonic device fabrication and characterization: In close collaboration with the Photonics research group (Prof. Van Thourhout, Prof. Roelkens), we attempt to translate the interesting optical properties of nanomaterials into devices such as single photon sources, (integrated) lasers and photo-detectors.
