Dr. Samantha Sbarra (Photonic Systems Laboratory, STI-IEM, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland) will give the seminar “From Optomechanical Sensing to Nonlinear Frequency Conversion: Engineering Light on Chip” on May 25, 2026, at 11:00 AM.
The seminar will provide an overview of recent advances in integrated photonics and optomechanics, which are enabling increasingly precise control of light–matter interactions at the micro- and nanoscale. In particular, ultra-sensitive optomechanical resonators for nanoparticle mass sensing and integrated photonic platforms for nonlinear light generation and frequency conversion will be presented.
The talk will highlight how the engineering of on-chip devices can enhance sensing performance and expand the application potential of quantum photonics.
The event will take place in the Conference Room of Building M (floor -1) at the INRiM Campus, Strada delle Cacce 91, Turin.
