Team 4: Photonics and Biophotonics
The Photonics and Biophotonics (PBP) team has a strong expertize in spectroscopy, photochemistry, nonlinear optics, micro-spectroscopy and 3D-printing.
Our current research activity mainly focuses on the development of more performant 2-photon absorption induced 3D-microfabrication methods. In collaboration with several teams of the lab, as well as with academic and industrial partners, we develop low-threshold photoinitiators, new materials and formulations to implement faster high-resolution 3D-printing technologies. Recently, our research in the field of 3D-printing has been supported by local, national and European fundings.
The LCH has an internationally renowned expertize in the development of organic dyes nanoparticles and materials with strong 2-photon absorption properties. We have implemented nonlinear spectroscopic methods to characterize these compounds for different applications e.g. for 2-photon induced fluorescence imaging, 2-photon induced polymerization, optical limitation, and so on. We are also active in the development of new femtosecond laser applications involving 2-photon absorption.
