05/09/2023 | Natural and artificial crystals often exhibit the ability to change the spectral color of light, a process known as nonlinear optical effect. This effect allows the frequency of a light component to be changed and transformed, for example, from the…

05/04/2023 | With an inspiring one-day workshop on 14 April 2023, seven young TRR 142 female scientists started their coaching programme FEMALE EMPOWERMENT.

05/02/2023 | This year's World Quantum Day took place on April 14th. Scientists from Paderborn University offered insights into optics labs and clean rooms.

04/13/2023 | Quantum photonics has the potential of revolutionizing technology by bringing quantum effects toward applications. Among the most prominent effects resulting from nonlinear light–matter interaction is the generation of correlated and entangled…

04/12/2023 | Material dispersion accumulated in optical setups tends to heavily distort and chirp ultra-short laser pulses which can be especially disadvantageous in nonlinear optical applications or pump-probe experiments. Typically, pulse compressors…

04/04/2023 | This year’s Spring Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section of the DPG took place in Dresden, on March 26th-31st, 2023. It ranks traditionally among the largest physics congresses in Europe. Therefore, we are particularly proud that one of our CRC…

04/03/2023 | The focus session organized by Ilya Akimov (TU Dortmund) and Torsten Meier (Paderborn University) included 5 invited and a number of contributed presentations and received considerable attention.

04/03/2023 | In a context of photonic integrated circuits, waveguide Bragg gratings are frequently used for purposes of spectral filtering. We have recently explored the properties of gratings with simple rectangular corrugations and 1-D periodicity.

03/28/2023 | Thanks to the TRR142 Travel Grant Scheme (Female Empowerment), M.Sc. student Abira Gnanavel could gain initial experience at the DPG conference (SAMOP) in Hannover.

03/22/2023 | In episode 4, Prof. Dr. Thomas Zentgraf, head of the Ultrafast Nanophotonics group and Principal Investigator of three projects within the TRR 142, explains what Ultrafast Nanophysics has to do with holography.

03/07/2023 | Quantum technologies provide the amazing perspective to boost progress in communication, quantum computing or cryptography. Their advantage is based on utilizing the laws of quantum mechanics instead of classical physics which open up the possibility…

02/22/2023 | Frau Dr. Sonja Barkhofen, Alumna des TRR 142 und Gruppenleiterin in der AG Integrierte Quantenoptik, hat am 24.11.2022 erfolgreich ihr Habilitationsverfahren bestanden und am 18.01.2023 die Lehrbefugnis erhalten.

02/14/2023 | After two years of contributing with videos to the virtual meetings, this year Hendrik Rose could finally go to San Francisco and present a talk at the SPIE Photonics West.

02/01/2023 | The Federal President of Germany Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier has appointed Professor Christine Silberhorn, Head of the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems and holder of the Chair of Integrated Quantum Optics at Paderborn University, to the German…

01/27/2023 | Dr Hendrik Rose has been awarded a prize for his outstanding dissertation “Theoretical Analysis of the Interaction between Semiconductor Nanostructures and Quantum Light: From Single Pulses to Four-Wave Mixing“.

01/23/2023 | The travel grant scheme offers financial support to promising female students (B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D.) who aim to attend a scientific conference, a summer/winter school, or a relevant scientific event of their choice.
