The Photonic Materials and Structures Group (Photmat) focuses on developing advanced photonic materials with the ability to emit, detect, reflect, transmit, convert, manipulate, and control light. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

Our research is centered on light\u2013matter interactions, with particular emphasis on innovative materials such as perovskites and chalcogenides. These low-temperature, solution-grown materials are studied in a variety of photonic structures. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

Our aim is to understand the behavior of these materials under different conditions by investigating their performance in structures of various dimensions, including quantum dots, nanowires, thin films, monolayers, and single crystals. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

We also explore complex photonic architectures such as photonic crystals, plasmonic metasurfaces, and disorder-driven systems. This broad approach allows us to push the boundaries of current photonic technologies and open pathways for future innovations. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our research bridges fundamental science with practical applications, focusing on photonic devices such as LEDs, lasers, and scintillators. We study various phenomena related to light\u2013matter interactions, including both spontaneous and stimulated emission in perovskites and chalcogenides, whether doped or undoped.
<\/span><\/span><\/p>

The group also investigates how emitters interact with photonic crystals and plasmonic antennas, aiming to improve the performance of photonic devices by leveraging the nonlinear properties of these materials. A key aspect of our work involves the development and testing of scintillators and radiation detectors based on perovskites and chalcogenides. <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>

In our labs, we produce quantum dots, thin films, and single crystals, as well as plasmonic structures via metal deposition. Nanostructures are further refined using photonic and electron-beam lithography, along with wet and dry etching techniques. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To characterize these materials, we employ methods such as micro-photoluminescence, time-resolved photoluminescence, and single-photon emission measurements. We also evaluate scintillation properties at high energies and study optical fibers and waveguides for telecommunication applications.
<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Through this comprehensive approach, we contribute to the advancement of photonic devices that meet the growing demands of modern light sources and detectors.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
