Project description
The current proposal aims at boosting the field of biological imaging and spectroscopy at ultraviolet light by downscaling standard bulk optics with the use of integrated photonics and on-chip plasmas. The fundamental research problem is to understand the mechanisms of the coupling of ultraviolet plasma emission into a low-loss single mode waveguide and to optimize it for optical spectroscopy.
