 National Centres of Excellence
The Laboratory of Micro/Nano Photonics is recognized at national level, and
funded between 2001 and 2004, as a Centre of Excellence in Micro and Nano - Photonics.
Mission: Research and development activities in the field of micro/nano-photonics and optical MEMS focused on the development of micro/ nano structures based on new materials and processes and photonic integrated circuits based on heterogeneous integration technology; development of materials, technologies and components for optical MEMS.
Main areas of expertise:
- modelling and simulation of micro and nano
photonic structures ;
- new materials for micro/nano opto-electro-mechanical systems integration (e.g. compound semiconductors, functional polymer, hybrid organic-
inorganic nano-compozites and glasses), and related
fabrication processes (including mixed technologies);
- passive and active micro-nano-photonic structures
for integrating in MOEMS for bio-medical and environment applications.
- hybrid or monolithic integrated photonic circuits and
optical-MEMS (including heterogeneous platforms) for
optical communications, interconnects and optical
signal processing;
- Optical and electrical characterization of materials
and optoelectronic and photonic components.
