Applied photophysics: renewable energies & health

Studies of the photophysical properties of (supra)molecular systems and the development of nanostructured surfaces or functionalised nanoparticles are being deployed for applications in the fields of renewable energy and healthcare.

Relaxation dynamics of excited molecules

The dynamics of molecular systems initially excited in the visible-UV spectral range are analysed on different time scales, with a particular focus on the competition between all the relaxation pathways.

Spectroscopies applied to astrophysics

The electronic, vibrational and/or rotational structure of a wide variety of species of astrophysical interest (molecules, grains, solids) is studied using radiation ranging from millimetre wavelengths to the vacuum ultraviolet.

Photoinduced Dynamics

Below, you will find some of our research topics. The common factor is the excitation/ionization of species (atoms/molecules/ions) by one or more photons. Our research focuses specifically in the detection of the resulting charged photoproducts (ions/electrons) from which we can infer the mechanism of interest. This research can be decomposed into: Time-resolved studies: we use a combination of ultrafast laser pulses (1 fs = 10-15s) to pump the system of interest and probe it at a later time. By scanning [...]

Quantum Metrology

La physique moléculaire ultrafroide en microgravité, dans un environnement spatial, offre de nouvelles perspectives passionnantes pour explorer de nouveaux régimes de physique moléculaire à très basse énergie, offrant ainsi la possibilité de concevoir de nouveaux types d'interféromètres à ondes de matière. Ces avancées sont cruciales pour les mesures de précision en physique fondamentale et en physique des systèmes à N-corps [1]. En effet, l'émergence du refroidissement et du piégeage d'atomes par laser, suivis de la création de condensats de Bose-Einstein, a [...]
