ACHIEVEMENT

Congratulations Youngmin (Prof. Kim!) on securing a tenure-track assistant professor position at Kookmin University, Korea! Best luck with your bright future!

Apr 2024

ACHIEVEMENT

Our new paper on actively tunable nanomechanical lasers led by Hyojun and Melvina has been published in Nature Nanotechnology! By closely working with a French team led by Yanko Todorov and Carlo Sirtori at Ecole Normale Supérieure, we demonstrated mid-infrared tunable lasers integrated on silicon. This new type of tunable lasers harnesses nanomechanical resonances to achieve ultra-low power consumption for laser emission tuning. Congratulations to the team for this achievement!
