Micro- and Nanophotonic Materials Unit

The group focuses on the modelling of photonic phenomena, in thin film structures, with micro- and nano-elements.

Through numerical simulations and (semi-)analytical methods we study the behaviour of light at the (sub)wavelength scale. Our expertise allows us to interpret experimental results for academic research and industrial projects.
