Nanostructured materials with non-linear optical properties

Objective

The objectives of this project concern the development of new competences at the host for (a) the development and processing by thermal poling of novel materials, and (b) the characterization of second-order non-linear optical (NLO) properties induced by synthesis or post-synthesis treatments. Inorganic glasses, glass-ceramics and nanostructured organic-inorganic hybrids will be considered due to their potential in the field of photonics.

The proposed research is driven by the current needs of optical communication technologies for versatile and inexpensive materials with NLO properties, which could replace eventually the difficult to synthesize and expensive ferroelectric crystalline materials used nowadays. To achieve the objectives, the work plan involves research and development activities for the fabrication at the host of experimental set-ups for thermal poling and for measurement of second-order non-linear optical properties, and for the synthesis and investigation of novel materials with potential NLO properties.

In the context of the project, the host institute will recruit three experienced researchers in:
(i) thermal poling and NLO properties measurements,
(ii) nanostructured glass-ceramics, and
(iii) organic-inorganic hybrid materials.

In addition, training of host staff researchers is planned at two highly experienced partner laboratories in Bordeaux, France, to ensure durable transfer of knowledge in the sought new competences.
