Our collaborators from EPFL published their work, entitled "Metasurface-enhanced mid-infrared imaging spectroscopy with broadband quantum cascade lasers" in  Nature Communications. 

Providing the QCLs used in this study and collaborating to install them in the setup was a great opportunity, and we're very happy to see the results are finally out!

Congratulations to Diego Piciocchi for winning the poster prize at IQCLSW 2026! The conferece took place from June 29 to July 03, 2026, in Séte, France.

A new research article from our group, "Noise-driven localization of collective light in an active synthetic lattice" has been published in Optica!

In this article, together with collaborators from the Technical University of Munich and the University of Konstanz, we discovered localisation transitions induced by temporal fluctuations in collective states of light supported by fast-gain lasers.

Our latest research article, "Epitaxial growth optimization, measurement and theoretical analysis of strain-compensated QCL grown on (511)A InP" has been published in the Journal of Crystal Growth!

In this work, we demonstrated the growth of strain-compensated quantum cascade lasers on (511)A InP substrates, identified optimized arsenic flux and III/V ratios as key to achieving high material quality and demonstrated the first lasing device on this platform.

Our latest research article, "Cavity-driven attractive interactions in quantum materials" has been published in Nature!

In this article, we demonstrate that terahertz photons confined in an optical cavity can modify the electronic interactions in bilayer graphene, transforming a continuum of electron–hole transitions into a stable exciton-like state through ultrastrong light–matter coupling.
