Faist Group ETH

#IQCLSW2022 is over now! The organising team would like to thank all our partners, speakers and students for their presentations and support. It was good to see everyone back! See you in two years 😎

Check out our #FeauturedArticle in @aplphotonics at pubs.aip.org/aip/app/articl… , where we use inverse-designed waveguides and surface-emitting antennas to improve the performance of broadband THz laser frequency combs! @Faistgroup_ETH @ETH_physics

Former Vice President Research, ETH professor and materials scientist Ueli W. Suter has died. A personal tribute by his long-time friend Prof. em. Nicholas Spencer. 🪦💐 brnw.ch/21wBLyF

🎉 Very excited about our new Invited Paper in APL Photonics with @Shima_Rj about the young and rapidly evolving field of terahertz integrated photonics. doi.org/10.1063/5.0146… We’re super pumped!

A stimulating environment for ideas to flourish Last week, more than 80 members of the @ETHQuantumCntr community — from 22 groups across five @ETH_en departments, the @psich_en and @Empa_CH — met for the 2023 General Meeting in Schwägalp. Read more linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

I disagree with this suggestion. Research is based on failure. Those who finance research have to take this risk without the prospect of a direct return on investment. Such approaches endanger basic research not just at @ETH but worldwide. nature.com/articles/d4158…

we forgot to tag you @Shima_Rj!

Congratulations to our Alumni Shima Rajabali for the QEOD thesis prize

Dissipative Kerr solitons are optical waves that preserve their shape while travelling in dispersive, lossy, nonlinear media. By engineering a planarized ring QCL,@PaoloMicheletti et al have demonstrated THz solitons in our latest work on ScienceAdvances. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Happy #InternationalDayofLight 🌦🌈 #idl23

An attempt to highlight the unique physics that can be accessed by sub-cycle non-linear up-conversion, and contrast it with narrowband up conversion which is more prevalent in photonics. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Read our latest work on gain-switched quantum cascade lasers in the current issue of Optica: doi.org/10.1364/OPTICA…

Congratulations to our colleague Lorenzo Graziotto, who was recently awarded among the 2020/21 "Excellent Graduates" at @SapienzaRoma University 🎉

What if in a Fourier Transform spectrometer the scanning mirror is rotating instead of linearly translating? We have recently demonstrated how such a system could be crucial for high-speed, large-bandwidth, and high-resolution applications. nature.com/articles/s4200…

It is a great pleasure having today Alessia Pasquazi from @lborouniversity (left, with host Jerome Faist, @ETH_physics) in the Zurich Physics Colloquium. #zhphyscoll colloquium.phys.ethz.ch/programme/curr…

Sometimes to better understand the Nature you need to see it from the top: and we sure did it today with our traditional Ski Day, this time in #zermatt! 🏔️

Celebrating Women's Day in the Lab with cakes and flowers for our colleagues 💫 #8MarchWomensDay

The most joy is the thrill of discovery, even if it’s a tiny one. Seeing something that nobody saw before is the best feeling! Anna Soter (ETHZ) #WomenInScience #WiS2023 chipp.ch/en/meetings_do…

Thrilled that my proposal #TUSCaNy has been selected for an ERC Consol. Grant! I can't wait to explore the vibrations of biolomecules in the #THz range and uncover new ways to modify their properties. Grateful to the @ERC_Research #Science #Biophotonics twitter.com/INSIS_CNRS/sta…

Excited to be at @PhotonicsWest , where I'm giving two talks Sunday afternoon: join to find out 1) how inverse-designed components can boost frequency comb performance and 2) how we can generate solitons in ring lasers (first author @PaoloMicheletti )@Faistgroup_ETH @ETH_physics
