Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a group of layered materials that show great potential
for on-chip optoelectronic devices. The unique feature of these materials is the possibility to assemble different 2D materials into a vertical heterostructure to form for example light emitting devices. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Optical Physics

The light field scattered by an optically levitated nanoparticle encodes in its phase
information about the position of the particle. An interferometric measurement allows us
to retrieve the position of the particle. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Optical Physics

In hyperspectral imaging a sample is raster-scanned through the focal point of a laser
beam and spectroscopic information is collected pixel by pixel. The resulting spectral
hypercubes contain thousands of individual spectra as well as the spatial coordinates
associated with each spectrum. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Optical Physics
