Transregional Collaborative Research Centre TRR 142 Tailor-made non-linear photonics

From fundamental concepts to functional structures

Our goal is the research, development and construction of non-linear photonic systems. We utilise state-of-the-art technological capabilities to explore new physical properties and devices based on tailored strong nonlinearities and real quantum effects.

We want to bring nonlinear optical and quantum effects from the stage of basic physical research into application.

 

Project areas

The research programme of the CRC/Transregio 142 combines the core competencies of Paderborn University in the fields of photonic materials, solid-state technology, quantum optics and theory with those of TU Dortmund University in nonlinear spectroscopy and instrumentation. It focuses on tailoring nonlinear interactions such as frequency conversion processes, the control of quantum systems, light emission and propagation, and nonlinearities at the single-photon level.

Project area A: Light-matter interaction

Project Area B: Materials and Technology

Project area C: Quantum applications

Well-founded. Equitable. Integrative: early career support at TRR 142.

Equal opportunities and the targeted promotion of female researchers have always been a high priority at TRR 142.

We encourage inquisitive young researchers to gain experience at scientific conferences as early as possible. The TRR 142 Travel Grant Scheme gives female students on Bachelor's and Master's programmes the opportunity to take their first steps in an academic environment.

And we provide targeted support for our female doctoral candidates and female postdocs with customised empowerment coaching.

The international workshop PHOTONICS FUTURE. Profound | Equal | Inclusive also offers young female and male TRR 142 researchers the opportunity to discuss specialised topics with renowned female scientists and at the same time learn from their career paths.

Equal opportunities. How we do it.
