Primary activity:

The Optics Manufacturing Service of INO provides high precision optic substrates, both for internal use and for external companies or research institutes. OMS can work on many kind of optics, made of different materials: amorphous, as glasses, fused silica or plastics, or many kind of crystals, like neodymium:YAG, sapphire, lithium niobate, TiO2, Ruby, zinc selenide, gallium arsenide, including igroscopic crystals as NaCl.
Flatness quality of better than l/50 was obtained for precision flats of 50 mm in diameter for interferometry. High precision prisms can be provided, with a precision of 1″ of arc on a 90° degree angle, and with a sharp-edge of 0.1 mm. Spherical, aspherical and cylindrical lenses can be realized with many of the above mentioned materials. The limitation in the dimension is about 200 mm, due to the limited size of the polishing machines.
On the other side many microoptics components for integrated optic or optoelectronics were produced, as for example geodetic lenses with sharp edges to enter into the waveguide and very thin fiber with the polished surface at 45 degree.

Primary activity:

Dr. Maria Parisi is a Research Scientist at INO – National Institute of Optics of the CNR – National Research Council, since 2020.
She is co-author of more than 50 publications on peer-reviewed international journals (h-index 27, WoS). The topics of his scientific activity are nonlinear optics, singular optics, laser interferometry, quantum optics, optomechanics.
M. P. graduated in 2007 and received PHD in Fundamental and Applied Physics in 2011 at the University of Naples Federico II.
During 2007-2011, she has been an Associate member of INFN-Naples and of the European Gravitational Observatory (EGO). His research was aimed in the framework of gravitational wave detection, participating in Virgo Experiment and Ad-Virgo project. In particular, she collaborated with the Virgo Optics Group to the characterization and mitigation of beam wavefront deformations in the high power interferometric detector. The main scientific outcome was the realization and installation of a phase camera on the Virgo experiment detection bench, leading to the thermal compensation, crucial to the improvement of gravitational waves detector sensitivity curve.
Since November 2011, she has joined at INO-CNR as a post-doc fellow. Here, she gained expertise on strain, acceleration and temperature sensors based on fiber Bragg gratings, optical frequency combs, nonlinear optics, quantum optics, optomechanics by participating in many National and European projects (MONICA – Monitoraggio innovativo per le coste e l’ambiente marino, MOSQ – Manipolazione optomeccanica di luce squeezed, QUANTOM – Quantum Optomechanics, NOICE – Nonlinear Optics for Comb gEneration, QOMBs – Quantum simulation and entanglement engineering in quantum cascade laser frequency combs). Among the various activities, she has contributed to theoretically model and experimentally demonstrate the onset of optical frequency combs in nonlinear optical resonators, cavity-enhanced second-harmonic generation systems and optical parametric oscillator.
Currently, M. P. is involved mainly on a compact and stable continuous-wave mid-infrared Optical Parametric Oscillator realization and Optomechanical manipulation of Orbital Angular Momentum.

Single-molecule-based photon sources can be selectively coupled to the evanescent electromagnetic field of plasmonic excitations, graphene, or complex dielectric media. The system hence represents a valuable testbed for applications ranging from microscale opto-electronics, to fluorescence-based sensing and solid-state protocols for quantum communication. The group is also working on the coupling of single molecule to the Atom-Chip condensate.

My main research activity at INO and LENS, in Firenze, has focused on the development of mid-infrared coherent radiation and their implementation in high-sensitivity and high-precision molecular spectroscopy apparatuses. Both well-assessed and novel techniques have been implemented in the molecular fingerprint region, ranging from cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy, sub-Doppler spectroscopy, polarization spectroscopy, frequency-modulation (single and two tones) spectroscopy, cavity ring-down spectroscopy, optical frequency-comb assisted metrology. In addition, I have implemented laser frequency stabilizations to stable references (optical cavities or narrow molecular features). About the sources, I developed and used nonlinear setups (sum or difference frequency generation setups) and quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). Recently, a deep analysis of QCLs frequency noise spectral density allowed the first direct measurement of their intrinsic linewidth and a deeper insight into their inner physics.

Primary activity:

Investigation of the mechanisms occurring during laser-plasma interaction and diagnostics of plasma obtained at laser intensities going from the ablation threshold up to ultrarelativistic regime.
In the laser relativistic regime (> 10^18 W/cm^2), my research is focused to the generation of sources of energetic particles (electrons, ions), ed in particular to proton acceleration via Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA). Morevoer, I am interested in the interaction of ultraintense lasers with nanostructured targets, and in plasmonic processes generated in the high field regime.
I also study the laser plasma interaction at intensities 10^15 – 10^16 W/cm^2 in conditions typical of Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) and Shock Ignition scheme. In particular, I am interested in the growth of parametric instabilities (SBS, SRS, TPD) and in the generation of ‘hot’ electrons. In this field, collaborations are carried out in the framework of international projects funded by the Eurofusion consortium, and I particiapate and lead experiments in medium/large scale laser facilities (CLF, PALS, Gekko XII, Shenguang II, LMJ).
I have also a consolidated experience in laser plasmas induced at low intensities, focussed to the study of the mechanisms of nanoparticle formation via Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquid environment, laser ablation, plasma spectroscopy for the elementary analysis of materials (LIBS) and microdrilling.

Recently, my research interests also deal with investigating how quantum coherence and quantum correlations have to be accounted in work and heat distributions, and with the evaluation of the thermodynamic cost in measuring a quantum system via a macroscopic apparatus. Apart from their relevance in theoretical physics, if possible, the main findings of these studies are then employed for quantum technologies and quantum engineering.

Primary activity:

Identify the application perspectives in the industrial field of a specific branch of nanotechnologies, that of metasurfaces for optical applications, in the spectral bands from the visible to the far infrared, with a declination specifically addressed to the development of solutions of rapid industrial applicability.
The so-called metasurfaces are surfaces covered with arrays of dielectric or metallic structures of sub micrometric dimensions, conceived to give rise to coherent diffusion effects of an incident electromagnetic wave, giving the wavefront reflected or diffused from the metasurface the desired shape, in dependence on the direction of incidence and wavelength.
In optics, this new approach makes it possible to create optical elements with a thickness lower than the wavelength, the so-called metalents. The results of the research indicate that these technologies allow the creation of optical components with unusual properties (not replicable with traditional optical technologies), and with extremely reduced thickness and dimensions (of the order of wavelength).
On the other hand, traditional optical technologies are based on the use of components consisting of glasses or optical materials of macroscopic thickness, which are combined according to complex architectures, depending on the desired functionality for the final device.
The main activities carried out in the project concern the following lines:
– Analysis of construction architectures and nano fabrication and nano structuring technologies applicable to the realization of metasurface and metalants for optical applications. The analysis is aimed in particular at identifying the construction architectures and construction technologies of greater industrial applicability, in terms eg. reproducibility of results, production speed, need for support infrastructures.
– Identification and analysis of possible application cases (case studies) for optical devices, of interest to the industrial partner, where metalent technology can have immediate and incisive effects in terms, for example, of: enabling new construction architectures; significantly reduce dimensions and dimensions compared to traditional technologies, improve performance.
– Preliminary design and identification of general construction solutions for the identified case studies, compatible with industrial needs.
