The long-term goal of the research is to develop the next generation optical techniques for the diagnosis, understanding, and treatment of disease. In clinical medicine, significant progress in screening, diagnosis and treatment has been fuelled by the exact sciences and has for instance led to imaging techniques such as X-ray or Computed Tomography, positron emission tomography, ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging...

Fiber-top MicroElectroMechanical Systems (patents pending) [Iannuzzi et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 88, 053501 (2006)] are a new generation of miniaturized devices obtained by carving tiny movable structures directly on the cleaved end of an optical fiber...

Energy Research in LaserLaB Amsterdam is focused on the study of the fundamental events of the natural process of Photosynthesis. These include the capture of solar photons,...

The research activities carried out in the program "Physics of Light and Matter" concentrate on performing ultra-precision experiments, which includes the development of advanced lasers sources (such as frequency comb lasers, ultra-stable lasers,...
