The Optic of Semiconductor nanoStructures Group (GOSS) is concerned with a wide spectrum of research topics going from fundamental aspects of light-matter interaction to opto-electronic devices, and from electronic structure engineering to material characterization.
Among on-going studies, for instance, are topics such as the optical manipulation of the electron spin in a quantum dot, the fabrication and study of photonic crystal-based devices, or the collective properties of mixte quasiparticules formed by the coupling of a photon and an electronic excitation confined in an optical microcavity.
