Nanophotonics on the Tip of a Fiber
Abstract – By transferring nanopatterned semiconductor membranes on the tip of optical fibers, we combine the power of nanophotonics with the flexibility of fiber sensing. In this talk I will discuss a variety of fiber-tip sensors of physical and biochemical parameters based on this Membrane-on-Fiber technology.
Bio – Andrea Fiore holds a PhD degree in Optics from the University of Orsay, and has previously worked in Thales Research and Technology (Orsay, France), at the University of California at Santa Barbara, at the Italian National Research Council (Rome, Italy), and at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland). Prof. Fiore has been the recipient of the ‘Professeur boursier’ (Switzerland) and ‘Vici’ (The Netherlands) personal grants, and has been awarded the 2006 ISCS ‘Young Scientist’ Award (International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors). He has acted as principal investigator in several national projects, team leader in many EU projects, coordinator of EU-FP6 project ‘SINPHONIA’ and of the Dutch national program ‘Nanoscale Quantum Optics’. He has led a 20 M€ NWO Gravitation program on Integrated Nanophotonics and he has co-founded the Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute. He has coauthored over 180 journal articles and given around 60 invited talks at international conferences. He also co-founded three spin-offs, nanoPHAB, MantiSpectra and Firefly Sensing, which commercialize nanophotonic technologies developed in his group.
