The most advanced nanofabrication and characterization techniques are available at Philips Research. We have full access to these facilities, which include photolithography, e-beam lithography, focus-ion beam, reactive-ion etching, metal evaporation and sputtering, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersion spectroscopy, etc.
We have an advanced optical laboratory consisting of several setups: A microscope for micro-photoluminescence, a confocal microscope with a scanning head for fluorescence life-time imaging and dark-field imaging, a set of rotation stages for angular dependent measurements of transmission, reflection and luminescence, an integrating sphere for efficiency measurements, a THz time-domain spectrometer. These setup are used in combination with several lasers: Diode lasers, ion lasers and mode-locked lasers, and detectors: high efficiency CCD cameras, photon-multipliers, avalanche photodiodes.
