6. Expertise
Interferometry:
Free space interferometer with tuneable delay.
Spectrometry:
Transmission and Phase measurements in the C-Band for all different kinds of materials are possible if light can be coupled from fibre to device. We are using SOI chips as devices and deposit the materials we would like to characterise on top.
Nonlinearity of the deposited materials are obtained with Four-Wave-mixing or applying voltage for chi(2).
Pump-Probe Setup available.
