Our research concerns photonic materials, such as inorganic nanocrystals and soft matter, combining their functionalities to achieve enhanced nonlinear, electro and magneto-optic properties. We exploit new and adaptive material platforms for light-induced waveguide devices, light modulation, optical limiting, steering and filtering.
