  12. #MayThe4thBeWithYou – Happy #StarWarsDay!

    While lightsabers remain firmly rooted in the realm of science fiction, MPL’s scientists are researching light and its interaction with matter. In this context, light serves as both a tool and a subject of #research. Our basic research ranges from individual photons over application and development of super-resolution microscopes to experiments involving high-intensity #laser pulses.

    May the (laser) force be with you!

  17. #Research Group Birgit Stiller “#Quantum Optoacoustics”
     
    Light and sound can interact in optical fibers, enabling applications ranging from photonic machine learning to #QuantumTechnologies.
    A prerequisite for interactions in the quantum regime is the so-called strong coupling regime. MPL scientists have predicted and measured it in an optical fiber. This paves the way for in-line quantum signal processing.

  30. I made public today the repository of #cRCWA, a simulation software dedicated to #photonics. It can be used with diffraction gratings, photonic crystals, as other implementations of the #RCWA method. It can also provide PML for nonperiodic structures like optical #waveguides and handle bent structures. Written in C++, it can be used with a simple scripting language or as a module in larger Python scripts. Here it is: github.com/cRCWA/cRCWA #OpenSource #Physics #OpenScience
