Researchers at DTU Fotonik have found a way to improve the images generated by terahertz cameras. They propose to use structured graphene which allows for tuning the so-called hyperlens, i.e. to focus on demand.

However, images generated by terahertz cameras are seriously limited by the natural diffraction limit. One of the solutions is the so-called hyperlens which allows for greater detail in the image.

This year is the 50th anniversary of nonlinear optics, which started with the first experimental observation of second-harmonic generation by Franken et al. in 1961. In the focus issue of Optics Express on Nonlinear Optics we show that second-harmonic generation can be used as a novel and surprisingly efficient method for generating energetic few-cycle mid-infrared pulses. Such pulses are attractive for investigating ultrafast vibrations of chemical bonds. A current obstacle is that today’s ultrafast laser technology is almost exclusively located in the near-infrared regime, and while parametric amplification is standard it always comes at a price of generating pulses with multi-cycle duration.
In continuation of Gorm Petersen’s grant, DTU has established a new award honoring young researchers who have made an extraordinary effort and who have great potential for further development. DTU Fotonik's Antonio Caballero is one such young researcher.

In a new research project researchers aim to find more efficient methods for generating extremely short femtosecond laser pulses in the important visible and near-infrared regimes. These pulses can today only be generated in research laboratories with bulky, fickle state-of-the-art lasers operating complex setups. A simpler and more efficient method is needed in order for these pulses to be used in the industry and for medical purposes. Of possible applications are ultra-fast spectroscopy of molecular vibrations and non-invasive surgery on living cells.

Two of DTU Fotonik's young scientists are mingling with Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany. They are the only Danish participants present.
In a new project at DTU and Copenhagen University, scientists will attempt to attain control over the smallest particles of light – photons. The supercomputers of the future as well as unbreakable codes are some of the possible end results of this undertaking.
DTU Fotonik has undergone extensive changes this year. There are now 17 research groups, which are arranged into 4 clusters. The previous five Research Areas of COM•DTU, Nanophotonics, Networks, Systems, Coding, and Fibers and Nonlinear Optics no longer exist. Research at DTU Fotonik now takes place in the following clusters and groups:
Fiber optical measuring systems make it possible to measure sound and vibrations with great accuracy. The Danish High technology Foundation grants 14 million kroner for research into optical measurement
DTU Fotonik has just installed a new high-power femtosecond laser. It is the most intense laser in Denmark
The terahertz "camera" that lets you see the concealed.
New Center of Excellence under the leadership of Jesper Mørk of DTU Fotonik
COM•DTU is changing its name to DTU Fotonik
In these days (16th and 17th of January) the Networks and Systems Areas participate in the ALPHA kick-off meeting. ALPHA is a new European ICT project, which focuses on new services for the home users, the access network and in-house cabling. Some of the technologies in question are plastic fibres, radio over fibre, integration of wireless access and fibre access. In addition, easy configurable and self-configurable management of the home access network is very important and part of the project objectives.
It has been 40 years since Palle Jeppesen first started working at DTU. During those years he has made many significant and important contributions to his area of research, Optical Communications.
