Exciting times for successful funding at COPS. This summer has given the announcement that two new programs will be running.

The first of which is PEREGRIN: Performance Extremized Freeform-Gradient Index Optics, headed by Dr Koondanibha Mitra of Eindhoven University. This program will explore how the so called F-GRIN lenses could help slim down optics and even increase efficiency. Find the link to the NWO wesite here. 

The second is Nanophotonically enhanced absorption in thin silicon pixels for improved image sensors (AHEAD), headed by our own Willem Vos. This project will look into how 3D photonic crystals can be used as back-reflectors for photodiodes, with an emphasis on increased the IR imaging efficiency of silicon based cameras.
