The project data will be organised in the following folder system :
One main folder for the each subproject : GaN nonlinear optics and Optical trapping Each folder is organised in the following sub-folder system (not all may be used), each with a readme- ...
The bacterial ecosystem is naturally balanced by viruses known as bacteriophages. Accordingly, they represent an emerging adjuvant to antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. However, the interaction of a single bacterium with bacteriophages remains poor ...
bacteriophages are viruses sought after to fight bacterial antimicrobial resistance. Here we demonstrate that on-chip optical trapping allows observing the bacterial lysis of a phage infected single bacterium without any needs of labelling or bioreceptors. ...
Suspended epitaxial gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon (Si) photonic crystal devices suffer from large residual tensile strain, especially for long waveguides, because fine structures tend to crack due to large stress. By introducing spring-like tethers, des ...
Making use of bound states in the continuum, we present experimental results on efficient second harmonic generation in photonic crystal cavities supporting doubly-resonant modes. The second harmonic emission is a vortex beam with radial polarization and e ...
Second-harmonic generation in nonlinear materials can be greatly enhanced by realizing doubly resonant cavities with high quality factors. However, fulfilling such doubly resonant condition in photonic crystal (PhC) slab cavities is a long-standing challen ...
Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to human health. The resistance arises from factors such as natural bacterial mutations and the widespread misuse of antibiotics in both agronomical and medical practices. Traditional antimicrobial suscep ...

Rapid analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility is a challenge in the fight against infectious diseases. Here we report how the interaction between integrated optical tweezers and bacteria reveals antibiotic- and bacteriophage-induced physiological stresses ...
There is a recent resurgence of interest in phage therapy (the therapeutic use of bacterial viruses) as an approach to eliminating difficult-to-treat infections. However, existing approaches for therapeutic phage selection and virulence testing are time-co ...
