Profile: | The LPN (Laboratory for Photonics and Nanostructures) is a fully-owned unit of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) under the CNRS Departments of SPM (Sciences, Physics, and Mathematics) and STIC (Sciences and Technologies for Information and Communication). Its main purpose is to promote basic and applied research in a coordinated fashion, both in internally-generated research activities and in activities carried out in partnership with other public or private laboratories, through the use and further development of its semiconductor fabrication and processing facilities. The research strategy of the Laboratory, conditioned by its goals and by its nationwide role as a central technological facility, is made possible thanks to the wide spectrum of scientific and technical skills brought together in the Laboratory. It involves multi-disciplinary research that ranges from fundamental to applied physics, in a large variety of research areas including: quantum optics, nonlinear optics, spin electronics, quantum transport, physics of nanostructures, nanomagnetism, photonics, microfluidics, materials science, device physics, optoelectronics, fabrication and processing of materials. The synergy that results favors the emergence of new avenues of research and the budding of novel concepts that can lead to applications, bridging academic research with industry. The range of research themes carried out at LPN illustrates the cross-fertilization between research and technology. LPN is present throughout the chain of innovation, from research on novel concepts leading to new functions and research on materials and technologies, to their implementation and to the demonstration of feasibility of new devices. At the same time, the research activities of LPN open new perspectives for potential applications in the fields of quantum information processing, optical communications, all-optical signal processing, high-density information storage, or microfluidics coupled to nanostructures, a field at the interface between physics, chemistry and biology. Our research activities are characterized by a strong potential for innovative investigations in the fields of quantum optics, spin electronics, quantum transport, nanostructures, nanomagnetism, photonics, microfluidics, optoelectronics. They open large perspectives of potential applications in the fields of quantum information processing, optical communications, all-optical signal processing, high-density information storage, or the field at the interface between physics, chemistry and biology of microfluidics applications coupled to nanostructures. Research areas include: Nanostructures, Electron Gases and Spin Electronics
