Integrated Optical MicroSystems (IOMS)
Welcome to the homepage of the Integrated Optical MicroSystems group!
Our research activities focus on micro-/nano-scale integrated optical devices. They include novel materials, structures, and optical phenomena, device design, realization, and characterization, as well as applications in optical sensing and communication. Currently we work on different on-chip integrated optical devices such as amplifiers and lasers, bio-sensors and medical instrumentation, and we explore phenomena based on opto-mechanical interactions.
For the device fabrication we make use of the excellent clean-room facilities of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, while the optical investigations are performed within our IOMS laboratories.
IOMS will be moving to a new building and cleanroom soon…
The IOMS group is relocating to the new Carré building soon. Along with the new Carré building, the new NanoLab will also be build. NanoLab will contain 1000 m2 cleanroom and 800 m2 laboratory space. NanoLab is the new research facility of the MESA+ institute for NanoTechnology.
