Scaling up: We demonstrate optoacoustic storage of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPKS) signals. In particular, we show the dependence of the optical phase on the phase-mismatch which can be used as an additional knob for signal processing. The paper can be found here.

At the opening of the MPZPM, we took this happy picture of us group leaders at MPL.

Another prize was awarded to Dr. Alexandra Popp: she received the 2024 SAOT - Erlangen Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies Student award for her paper “Extreme thermodynamics in nanolitre volumes through stimulated Brillouin-Mandelstam scattering” published in Nature Physics.…

Andreas defended his doctoral thesis with the topic “Thermodynamics for Advancing and Controlling Brillouin Scattering” today! Many congratulations from the whole group! We also revived an old institute’s tradition and pushed the new doctor through all corridors with applause!

Very well deserved…

At the novel format "Networking Symposium" selected Group Leaders presented their research in 3-Minutes Pitches to the audience. Birgit Stiller presented our work on "Sound and Light waves to advance optical neural networks and to propel quantum technologies".

The research groups Del’Haye, Fattahi and Stiller gathered again for our legendary journal club Berg session! Many good memories!
