Welcome to the Group of Integrated Photonics

Our group investigates the science and engineering of light to enable efficient, scalable, and compact photonic technologies. We combine nonlinear optics, nanofabrication, and hybrid integration to develop chip-based solutions for wavelength conversion, ultraviolet to mid-infrared light generation, narrow-linewidth lasers, and single-photon devices. Our research spans fundamental modeling and simulation to experimental demonstration, with applications in quantum communication, spectroscopy, and optical networks. By working across materials platforms, we aim to create photonic components that are manufacturable, tunable, and ready for integration into next-generation systems.

👥 Our Team

We’re a diverse group of BSc and MSc students, PhD candidates, postdocs, and faculty members, working together in an open and supportive environment.

☕ Join us for Rundstykker
Every Monday morning, we meet for breakfast during our weekly Rundstykker session. It’s a great way to connect, share ideas, and welcome newcomers to the group.
