MiTra receives ERC PoC grant

Our miniature greenhouse gas analyzer project has been awarded an ERC Proof-of-Concept (PoC) grant.  This will boost our development of an ultracompact yet very accurate analyzer based on our fiber Fabry-Perot microcavity technology. It will measure the concentration of greenhouse gases with an accuracy and stability rivaling state-of-the art instruments, but in a handheld, drone-mountable …

Mapping of the microscopic standing-wave field in a fiber Fabry-Perot microcavity with a nanowire probe

Our collaboration with Olivier Arcizet’s group at Institut Neel has allowed mapping of the microscopic standing-wave field in a fiber Fabry-Perot microcavity with a nanowire probe that is sensitive to the field of a single photon. This work just appeared in Physical Review X on 8 April 2021. The CNRS published a News item about this work (in French).
