The group enjoyed a delightful apple-picking outing on October 19, 2024, generously sponsored by Marko and thoughtfully organized by Anna Shelton. Together, we gathered at a scenic New England farm, embracing the beauty of autumn and celebrating the apple...

The Summer Chalk Talk has been initiated, organized by our postdoc Dr. Shima Rajabali as well as many of our group members (Harvard SEAS Photonic Club). This series of talks features the interactive & insightful scientific discussion and the delicious &...

On April 30th, Dr. Giampaolo Pitruzzello, the senior editor of Nature Photonics, visited us and the Harvard photonic community. Dr. Pitruzzello visited labs at Harvard, gave a talk on "Inside Nature Photonics: Recent Publishing Trend and Writing Tips"...

As a 2024 Harvard Horizon Scholar, Dylan Renaud has given a talk "Nanoscale Photonics: The Power of Tiny Devices for Solving the World’s Largest Challenges" on April 9th, presenting our group's research on thin-film lithium niobate modulators to the...

Harvard Griffin GSAS introduces Dylan as one of the chosen 2024 Harvard Horizons Scholars. Selected by the Harvard Horizons Faculty Fellows, these scholars epitomize the exceptional researchers within Harvard’s PhD community. This year's group of eight...

Researchers in our lab have deterministically generated strained SiVs in diamond using high-stress silicon nitride thin films. This exciting work paves the way for higher-temperature operation of these systems. Link to the paper.

Our group has demonstrated high-performance electro-optic-based isolators in thin-film lithium niobate. By taking the advantage of the inherent non-reciprocity of travelling-wave phase modulator, we achieve an isolation ratio of 48-dB with low device...

Laser Focus World highlights recent work from our group on visible TFLN modulators. "A new type of electro-optic modulator controls the shorter, visible wavelengths of the optical spectrum—and breaks limits on how fast and efficiently visible modulators...

Researchers in our lab have demonstrated high-performance electro-optic modulators in TFLN operating at visible to near infrared wavelengths, and with record setting voltage-bandwidth performance. Link to the paper. Link to SEAS release.

Researchers in our lab, in collaboration with Cristina Benea-Chelmus at the Laboratory of Hybrid Photonics ( HYLAB) in EPFL’s School of Engineering, and ETH Zurich, have developed the first on-chip THz syntheziers. Link to the paper. Link to the media...
