The key components of a terahertz receiver, fabricated in the C2N cleanroom facility, will be on board of the ESA mission JUICE

The C2N and the Laboratoire d’Etude du Rayonnement et de la Matière en Astrophysique et Atmosphères – LERMA¹ have jointly developed a process to ...

First ultra-low threshold continuous-wave lasing in Germanium-Tin

Transistors in computer chips work electrically, but the data can be transmitted more quickly with light. Researchers have therefore been looking for a way to ...

Fractional statistics of anyons in a two-dimensional conductor

By implementing a collider experiment between the elementary excitations of a two-dimensional conductor, physicists have revealed the fractional statistics of anyons, interpolating between fermionic and ...

Mesoscopic limit cycles in coupled nanolasers under strong fluctuations

Using two coupled nanolasers, researchers have demonstrated the existence of limit cycles with only a thousand photons in the cavities, in spite of the strong ...

A supercontinuum light source in the O-band communication window, compatible with industrial CMOS processes

A team of researchers at C2N, in a collaboration with STMicroelectronics, have demonstrated a two-octave spanning supercontinuum generation in the O-band, a major communication window ...

Molecular ‘fingerprinting’ technology that fits on a fingertip

Article published on the European Commission website CORDIS, about the ERC Starting Grant project « Chip-scale INtegrated Photonics for the mid-Infra REd » (INsPIRE), led ...

Generation of a guided-wave “Bessel-Gaussian” beam using an integrated 2D array of plasmonic nanoresonators

Researchers at the Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (C2N), in collaboration with Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne (ICB) have demonstrated the generation of a ...

The cascade to criticality

Researchers at C2N (CNRS/Université Paris-Saclay), PhLAM laboratory (CNRS/Univ. de Lille) and ETH Zurich have unveiled a novel mechanism describing how criticality - a phase ...

Amplifying a weak signal by manipulating the nonlinear resonance in a nano-electromechanical resonator

A team of researchers at C2N has experimentally demonstrated an enhancement by more than an order of magnitude of a weak electrical signal thanks to ...
