Projects
UNISON | E.U. Horizon project
UNISON: Universal sensor based on an electrically pumped mid-infrared spectrometer on silicon chips. UNISON is a cutting-edge European project funded by the European Union and coordinated by CNRS (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique). Bringing together 8 esteemed partners from 5 countries, UNISON focuses on advancing environmental monitoring through high-resolution optical spectroscopy in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range.

H2020 ZOTERAC
external page ZOTERAC is a project funded by the European Commission's HORIZON 2020 programme which proposes a disruptive approach based on ZnO-based nano-engineered semiconductors in order to realize compact THz emitters and detectors. These devices are based on the quantum cascade concept and take benefit of the large optical phonon energy of ZnO (twice that of GaAs) for achieving high temperature operation.
FLASH, Far-infrared Lasers Assembled using Silicon Heterostructures
external page FLASH is a collaborative project funded by the European Commission under the H2020 program. The project aims to develop a room-temperature THz laser integrated on Si using CMOS technology-compatible processes and materials. The laser, of quantum cascade type, will be assembled using newly developed conduction-band germanium-rich heterostructures.
Qombs - Quantum simulation and entanglement engineering in quantum cascade laser frequency combs
external page external page Qombs Project, part of the external page European Flagship on Quantum Technologies, aims to create a quantum simulator platform made of ultracold atoms in optical lattices. The quantum platform will allow to design and engineer a new generation of quantum cascade laser frequency combs
