Quantum Optics and Optoelectronics Lab

The main research directions for Quantum Optics and Optoelectronics Laboratory are the design and construction of optical systems for various applications, including systems for generation of entangled photons in nonlinear crystal, manipulation of microparticles and cells in optical traps, interferometry, free-space optical communications, computer-generated holograms. Additionally, the lab focuses on optical microscopy images processing by finding relevant parameters with biological significance and the development of machine learning algorithms for the automatic classification of different types of nuclei, cells, and tissues.

The laboratory is driven by a dynamic, young, and enthusiastic team consisting of two senior professors/researchers, one scientific researcher, and three PhD students. Over time, the lab has successfully implemented more than 15 research projects, as well as four service projects in collaboration with industry partners. The team has contributed to 12 books and book chapters and has published over 100 articles in specialized ISI journals.

The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for quantum optics research, optical trapping systems, and has a significant databases containing hyperspectral and phase images for the automatic classification of unstained cells and tissues.
