"Super-thermal" emission of photons by coupled nanolasers
News from Institut de physique of CNRS - April 27, 2018 (released in French) Thanks to two coupled nanolasers, physicists were able to generate an out-of-equilibrium system emitting multi-photon bursts, known as "super-thermal" light. This approach is not restricted …

Intrinsic Properties of Suspended MoS2 on SiO2/Si Pillar Arrays for Nanomechanics and Optics
Since a few years, it is possible to isolate sheets with thickness of an atom and width of dozens of micrometers. It is possible to proceed with metallic, insulating, or semi-conductors materials and to assemble them in various heterostructures. One …
