ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences
ICFO is a young research institution that aims to advance the very limits of knowledge in Photonics, namely the science and technology of harnessing Light. Light, especially laser light, is one of the major enabling technologies currently available to humankind. Our research thrusts target the global forefront of photonics, and aim to tackle important challenges faced by society at large. We focus on current and future problems in Health, Energy, Information, Safety, Security and caring for the Environment.

Ultrafast Thermal Switching Enabled by Transient Polaritons
(ACS, 2024-12-26)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyUltrafast thermal switches are pivotal for managing heat generated in advanced solid-state applications, including high-speed chiplets, thermo-optical modulators, and on-chip lasers. However, conventional phonon-based ... -
Relationship between overall right pre-frontal cortex activity and learning and retention of a visuomotor adaptation task: A continuous analysis
(Elsevier, 2025-07-01)
Article
Open AccessLearning a visuomotor adaptation task (VMA) is typically assessed by describing the behavioral changes during adaption (early-fast and late-slow phases) and retention (consolidation) tests. Few studies have concurrently ... -

(Wiley, 2024-12-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySolution-processed gain media have great technological potential as lasers due to their ease of integration with on-chip photonics, scalability and tuneable optoelectronic properties. Currently, the spectral coverage of ... -
Sensory experience controls dendritic structure and behavior by distinct pathways involving degenerins
Dendrites are crucial for receiving information into neurons. Sensory experience affects the structure of these tree-like neurites, which, it is assumed, modifies neuronal function, yet the evidence is scarce, and the ... -
Talbot effect based sensor measuring grating period change in subwavelength range
(Nature, 2024-12-28)
Contribution to periodical
Open AccessTalbot length, the distance between two consecutive self-image planes along the propagation axis for a periodic diffraction object (grating) illuminated by a plane wave, depends on the period of the object and the wavelength ... -
Prediction of the response to antiangiogenic sunitinib therapy by non-invasive hybrid diffuse optics in renal cell carcinoma
(Optica, 2024-10-01)
