NEPOMUQ: Development of integrated optoelectronic modulators based on nonlinear optical perovskites

AMO GmbH and the University of Wuppertal have launched the research project NEPOMUQ (New Perovskite Materials for Integrated Optoelectronic Modulators in Quantum Systems). Over the next three years, novel perovskite materials with strong nonlinear optical properties will be investigated. The aim is to realize integrated optoelectronic modulators that serve as key components for a variety […]

A scalable method to reduce the contact resistance of graphene

The exceptional electronic properties of graphene make it a material with large potential for low-power, high-frequency electronics. However, the performance of a graphene-based device depends not only on the properties of the graphene itself, but also on the quality of its metal contacts. The lack of effective and manufacturable approaches to establish good ohmic contacts […]

A graphene-based infrared emitter for integrated photonic gas sensors

Researcher at AMO GmbH, RWTH Aachen University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Senseair AB and the University of Bundeswehr have successfully developed a waveguide-integrated incandescent thermal mid-infrared  emitter using graphene as the active material. This innovative approach significantly enhances the efficiency, compactness, and reliability of gas sensor systems, paving the way for widespread application across […]

Towards self-healing flexible strain sensors based on graphene ink

Advanced applications such as smart patches and electronic skin have created the need for strain sensors that are not only sensitive and flexible, but also skin- and eco-friendly, and ideally self-healing, i.e. able to recover their sensing performance after damage.  A successful strategy for implementing self-healing strain sensors is to combine a polymer with good […]
