Laboratory of Hybrid Photonics
The Hybrid Photonics Laboratory at EPFL develops electronic-photonic chips for applications in fundamental and applied sciences. For this, we combine ultra-high speed signals in the microwaves and terahertz with optical ones inside the latest integrated photonics and metasurface technologies.

Integrated terahertz photonics
We use nonlinearities in state-of-the-art lithium niobate and silicon-on-insulator circuits to address terahertz applications.

Gigahertz-speed metasurfaces
We use hybrid silicon-organic metasurfaces to achieve pixelated, high-efficiency control of free-space light at gigahertz speeds.
