Another interesting outcome!

September 21st, 2021

The Ultrafast Optical Spectroscopy group (GUFOS) at Friedrich-Schiller-University in Jena led by Prof. Giancarlo Soavi, presented encouraging results. Sebastian Klimmer, the author of the published paper at Nature Photonics, demonstrated second harmonic generation in 2D-materials to be used as all-optical switches which showed unprecedented speed and modulation depth of close to 100%. Find the paper here: Link In this setup the fundamental frequency was delivered by one of our Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPO), so called Levante IR fs. This outcome could lead to...

Latest results from our laboratory

September 14th, 2021

This week, our colleague Stefan Popien will attend the European Optical Society Annual Meeting (EOSAM) from the 13th to 17th Sept. Fortunately, the conference will be held in person in Rome, and we have the opportunity to talk to members of the community. Stefan will present a poster about our work on a IR light source based on an Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) combined with a Difference Frequency Generator (DFG). The tunable wavelength range extends over 3.9 octaves starting with 1.3...
