Research drivers
The research of the Center is structured by means of eight research “drivers”, eight major ambitions that hold the promise of ground-breaking research and the potential for extraordinary economic or societal impact.
While each driver is managed as a project by a coordinating team, there is a strong interdependence between them. This is not only due to the fact that most of the research teams of the Center participate in several drivers but more importantly because the drivers are strongly interlinked scientifically.
- Driver 1: Large area photonics through nanostructured materials
- Driver 2: Ultra-low-power high speed optical sources and switching
- Driver 3: Sensitive integrated label-free biosensors for multiplexed proteins/DNA detection
- Driver 4: Integrated photonic systems for mid-infrared biospectroscopy
- Driver 5: (Bio)-Imaging of nanosized matter and biomolecules
- Driver 6: Electro-optical particle manipulation
- Driver 7: Active nano-photonic implants
- Driver 8: Raman biospectroscopy enabled by nanophotonics
