Explore the forefront of integrated photonics research at the University of Twente, home to the largest concentration of dedicated scientists and engineers in this dynamic field
Discover the heart of integrated photonics research expertise at the University of Twente, where our large cluster team comprising Professors, PostDocs, PhDs, Research Engineers and Technicians work together to drive research and development in key areas. Our Integrated Photonics Program addresses important material platforms including SiN and Al2O3 and the development of highly relevant applications including photonic and quantum computing, communications and signal processing, lasers, (bio)sensing, optomechanics, photonics for security, and many others. This allows for instance the development of robust security solutions based on quantum physics, the precision engineering of tiny lasers suitable for applications on chips, or the engineering of light-based sensors that can screen cancer traces or monitor water pollution levels on a large scale.
We focus on the development of ultra-low loss photonic platforms, spanning a wide range of wavelengths from UV to mid-infrared, and heterogeneous integration of energy-efficient and high-speed optical modulators. The program is included and promoted in relevant technology accelerators such as PIX-Europe, Photon Delta NL, Quantum Delta NL, PITC, JIC-IP among others and benefits from strong synergies with companies within the Twente region such as Quix Quantum, Lionix, Aluvia, Superlight Photonics, Demcon and New Origin among others
