Project description

The nonlinear optical and photoluminescence properties of graphene and other 2D monolayer crystals will be investigated. To increase light-matter interaction, the 2D crystals will be integrated on a waveguide structure that strongly confines the light. We aspire to use these results to develop one or more proof-of-concept devices, e.g. optical modulators or optical parametric amplifiers/oscillators.
