PRL cover: November 2011 PRL cover highlighting our work

We have several vacancies for ambitious Ph.D. students

It is the mission of the Complex Photonic Systems (COPS) chair to perform advanced research on propagation and emission of light in complex nanophotonic metamaterials. We investigate new physical concepts and develop state-of-the-art techniques. We study photonic band gap crystals, Anderson localization and diffusion of light, wavefront shaping, and related phenomena. Our curiosity driven research is of interest to industrial partners and provides enabling technology for applications in optical signal processing, lighting, medical and biophysical imaging. We train junior scientists with advanced technology and methodology in order to perform in multidisciplinary teams, and to successfully communicate to a broad audience.

COPS is guided by Willem Vos (chair holder, NWO-Vici recipient) and Allard Mosk (NWO-Vidi recipient). Part-time affiliated are scientists Ad Lagendijk (from Amolf) and Pepijn Pinkse (from MESA+ Applied Nanophotonics).
