Research Areas
The Laboratory carries out its research activities within the general context of the nanosciences, at the cross-roads of quantum optics and electronics, of physics, chemistry and biology, of materials science and device physics. These inherently multi-disciplinary fields are advancing rapidly. New technologies constantly appear, even before the earliers ones have had the time to mature, giving rise to a permanent renewal of the conceptual foundations on which technology rests. In this on-going process, in which fundamental research plays a seminal role, our purpose is to develop the new technologies and the concepts that will initiate innovation both in basic and applied science.
The research activities of the laboratory are grouped into six strongly interacting areas, one of which is itself composed of five sub-areas. These areas cover a coherent spectrum of activities going from research on new concepts, to the implementation of these concepts through the design, fabrication and analysis of materials and structures, as well as to their application through the development of technologies and device demonstrators.
