Upcoming events

Fighting Superbugs in their Slime Castle - Katharina Ritcher

An overview of  IPAS startups, and what IPAS is doing /can do to support them followed by presentations from startup founders/directors about what their startup does, what their general experiences were of doing this within the University and any other relevant info that they'd like to discuss.

In-fiber gas-phase nanostructuring and dispersion control for non-classical light sources

The last IPAS seminar of the year is welcoming Prof Fetah Benabid - a CNRS director of research and honorary professor at the university Western Australia (Australia). He is the group founder and leader of Gas-Phase Photonic and Microwave Materials (GPPMM) at the CNRS UMR Xlim, Limoges, France. A group founded in the UK and fully transferred to Limoges. Fetah Benabid is also the founder and NE-CTO/CSO of GLOphotonics, market leader in hollow-core fibers for industrial applications.

Stable Optical and vacuum systems for applications in space and beyond - Moritz Mihm - Johannes Gutenberg Uni Mainz

Numerous quantum technologies are used in extreme environments. The operation outside the laboratory makes high demands on the experiment and especially the laser system regarding miniaturization and power consumption as well as mechanical and thermal stability.

Ashby Hilton - Generating ultra-strong light-atom interaction in hollow-core photonic crystal fibre

The goal of my PhD was to develop an apparatus that realises the laser-cooling, trapping, and loading of rubidium atoms into a kagome-lattice hollow-core fibre.
