Research in Photonics at the University of Insubria, Como.
Photonics for quantum science and technology
We deliver cutting-edge research advancing quantum communication, imaging, and sensing.
Photonics for the study and manipulation of matter
We harness state-of-the-art ultrafast laser sources to explore new approaches to light–matter interaction and its applications.
Integrated photonics and nanophotonics
We push the boundaries of nanoscale photonics through integrated platforms and advanced micromachining techniques.
Biophotonics
We explore biosystems at the single molecule level and devise new theragnostic approaches exploiting fluorescence spectroscopy.
What is CLIP
CLIP — the Como Lake Institute of Photonics — brings together academics and researchers from the Department of Science and High Technology at the University of Insubria and the Institute for Photonics and Nanotechnologies of CNR.
Our expertise spans a broad range of topics, from quantum optics to biophotonics.
