The Department of Applied Physics and Photonics at the VUB (TONA/TW/VUB) belongs to the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences of our University. It consists of a group of about twenty researchers -engineers and physicists- who are working together on materials, components, devices and subsystems for bringing light into communication and information processing systems.These research themes go from fundamental research to near the market ...

The Materials Physics (IMOMAF) research group focuses on developing innovative solutions to successfully bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrially compatible materials systems and processes. This is done in a wide range of fields, from nano and quantum physics to electronics, advanced sensing, and healthcare materials. Cooperation with industrial partners plays a crucial role in the IMOMAF research group.

Electronic characterization of semiconductor interfaces (internal photoemission, electron spin resonance). Electronic properties of semiconductor interfaces and thin layers including low-dimensional systems. The modelling activities are focused on the first-principles simulations (based on density functional theory - DFT) of the structural, electronic and transport properties of various materials and heterostructures of potential interest for ...

We are a group of enthusiastic multidisciplinary young researchers from both the Departments of Applied Physics and Photonics (TONA) and Physics (DNTK). We use experimental and theoretical methods (nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, complex systems, electromagnetism, general relativity, etc.) to tackle and answer some fundamental challenges about nonlinear, complex and time-evolving systems. This combination allows an imaginative and ...

TOPIC A : Holography ( Stijns E.) -- TOPIC B : Theory and modelling of non-linear optical materials and structures (Veretennicoff I.) - Wave Propagation in Non-linear Optical Materials and Devices - Optical bistability and diffraction in non-linear optical elements -- TOPIC C : Semiconductor based opto-electronic components for optical switching and optical modulation in the near infra-red (Thienpont H., Van Geen R., Veretennicoff I. and ...

The research group TROP works around "patient-tailored image-guided radiotherapy", Dit
Subject is cross-disciplinary and translational. It integrates new imaging techniques (before, during and after radiotherapy), innovative radiation modalities, biology and clinical studies. There is close cooperation with the image groups within our BEFY department and on the one hand the oncological oriented basic and clinical research groups.
