2D FWM cryo-microspectroscopy of individual colloidal quantum dots, fluorophores, and biomolecules
Supervisor: Prof. Wolfgang Langbein
MUSIQ Research
Vikramdeep will be demonstrating the two-dimensional four-wave mixing cryo-microspectroscopy on individual colloidal quantum dots, fluorophores, and biomolecules (including model light-harvesting systems). Further, building on the 2D FWM setup featuring heterodyne spectral interferometry available at Cardiff, which has been developed for experiments on epitaxial quantum dots and photonic cavity structures for applications in quantum information processing, this project will explore the applicability of this advanced setup to biologically relevant single quantum systems.
Scientific Background
Vikramdeep holds a bachelor and masterโs degree in physics from Guru Nanak Dev University, India. Later in 2018, he moved to France for one-year master program (MONABIPHOT) at รcole Normale Supรฉrieure Paris-Saclay (ENS Paris-Saclay). During this master program he took courses in non-linear optics and photonics and extended his interests and knowledge. He developed his thesis project at Laboratoire de photonique quantique et molรฉculaire (UMR 8537), Centrale Supรฉlec, France on radiation pressure measurements with polymer photonic crystals.
