Visit of the Airbus Defence and Space Management

We were very honoured to receive the management of Airbus Defence and Space, C2N's long-standing partner in the development of intense and fast ion sources for micro-space propulsion. These high quality exchanges mark a new stage in the collaboration on the design of a new generation of miniature Space Propulsion Systems of higher power.

Flexible nitride nanowires light emitting diodes

Presently, flexible light sources mainly use organic materials integrated on lightweight and flexible plastic substrates. However, organic LEDs present a much lower luminance and a shorter lifetime in comparison to the LEDs based on inorganic nitride semiconductors. The inorganic semiconductor devices in their bulk form are mechanically rigid. Polymer-embedded nanowires (NWs) offer an elegant solution to create flexible optoelectronic devices, which combine the high efficiency and the long lifetime …

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.
