Single-photon sources (SPSs) are an elementary building block for quantum technologies. An ideal SPS is deterministic, on-demand and produces exactly one photon per pulse. Despite the large interest in single photons for both fundamental and applied applications, an ideal SPS remains elusive. The most common SPSs today are heralded single photons based on parametric down-conversion, which are...

The continuous advancement of photonics and the need for integration of electronics and photonics systems has been a motivation for trending research in Si-photonics. New materials are being developed with suitable properties for new infrared detector technologies for optoelectronics. We focus on photodetectors for Si-photonics by developing optimized SixGe1-x-ySny photodetector materials for...

Strong plasmon-phonon (pl-ph) coupling is a key process in nanoscale light-matter interaction physics. Optical probes have dominated strong-coupling studies, but they offer limited spatial resolution. Nowadays, atom-wide sub-5 meV electron beams generated in transmission electron microscopes allow us probing infrared (IR) excitations (e.g. phonons, plasmons, etc.) with better spatial...
