Multi-wavelength lasers have emerged as a promising solution for a range of applications: from sensing to high-frequency signal generation or all-optical processing. For instance, they are an appealing solution to generate mm-wave or THz signals: besides the reduce footprint or the lack of required alignment, the coupling between modes leads to lower noise level. However,... Read more →

EM-based medical technologies are receiving increasing interest in the global scientific community. One of the most studied applications in this field is the use of microwaves for cancer diagnosis, particularly for breast cancer detection, made possible by the significant dielectric contrast between healthy and neoplastic tissues. Several microwave imaging prototypes for breast cancer detection have... Read more →

In recent years, photonics has become one of the key contenders in the race to build large-scale quantum computers. The prominence of photonics as a quantum information technology is underscored by the fact that it is one of only a handful of technology platforms which has achieved a quantum advantage, i.e., a large-scale quantum system...
