Controlling carbon nanotube photoluminescence using silicon microring resonators
By depositing carbon nanotubes on ring-shaped micro-resonators, researchers at C2N (CNRS / Université Paris-Sud) managed to control the light emitted by the nanotubes. This technology could be optimized for future applications in optical telecommunications or integrated circuits for microelectronics. This work was published in the journal Nanotechnology.

Exchange interaction-driven dynamic nuclear polarization in Mn-doped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots
The optical spin orientation and subsequent dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in individual self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots doped by a single Mn atom is shown to be strongly perturbed by the exchange interaction between a photo-created electron and the spin of the magnetic impurity. The anisotropic part of the exchange, if strong enough, significantly depolarizes the electron spin in moderate magnetic fields, preventing thus any DNP. Yet, for small …
