The Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light covers a wide range of research, including laser spectroscopy, quantum optics, nonlinear optics, nanophotonics, photonic crystal fibers, integrated optics, optomechanics, laser interferometry, quantum technologies, biophysics and – in collaboration with the Max Planck Zentrum für Physik und Medizin – the connections between physics and medicine. The MPL was founded in January 2009 and is one of over 80 institutes of the Max Planck Society that conduct basic research in the natural, biological, human and social sciences in the service of the general public.
Microphotonics meets microelectronics: Atomic layer processing for silicon carbide-based quantum photonic circuits
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising material platform for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and miniaturized solid-state quantum systems. In the ALP-4-SiC project – Atomic Layer Processing for SiC for Applications in Photonics and Quantum Communication – researchers from the Max Planck Institute…
