Well done Yanhui & Maryam, first nanorods trapped in London! These silicon nanorods are 600nm lond and about 130nm in diameter. The blue data shows the spectrum of a nanorod trapped by linearly polarized light, and the red data a … Continue reading →

Our review of Optomechanics with Levitated Particles is now online: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.08198

We are very pleased to have Inca Robinson join us as a King’s Undergraduate Research Fellow. She will spend the next 6 weeks studying the concept of “macroscopic” in quantum physics.

Levitation in our electromechanics experiment! Seriously speedy work from Katie and Muddassar.

Dr. Maryam Nikkhou joins our group today, to focus on rotational optomechanics. Very pleased to have you onboard, Maryam.

Congratulations to the whole team for a swift and smooth move into our new lab, watch this space for the first results!

Our group co-organised Late Light 2019, an evening of public and scientific lectures, and an exhibition of specially curated artworks inspired by research into Photonics. It was a huge success, with over 250 people attending. See a Physics World review … Continue reading →
