DTU Fotonik is currently seeking to fill a Professorship in Experimental Nanophotonics.
This year is the 50th anniversary of nonlinear optics, which started with the first experimental observation of second-harmonic generation by Franken et al. in 1961. In the focus issue of Optics Express on Nonlinear Optics we show that second-harmonic generation can be used as a novel and surprisingly efficient method for generating energetic few-cycle mid-infrared pulses. Such pulses are attractive for investigating ultrafast vibrations of chemical bonds. A current obstacle is that today’s ultrafast laser technology is almost exclusively located in the near-infrared regime, and while parametric amplification is standard it always comes at a price of generating pulses with multi-cycle duration.
In continuation of Gorm Petersen’s grant, DTU has established a new award honoring young researchers who have made an extraordinary effort and who have great potential for further development. DTU Fotonik's Antonio Caballero is one such young researcher.

Steen Christensen, PhD student from the Center CAPEC at the Department of Chemical Engineering (KT) at DTU, has won "The Third Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge" in the category 'State Conditions Transferability'.
Researchers at CAMD and at CINF have employed computational combinatorial screening to investigate new materials for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The screening was confirmed experimentally by synthesis and characterization of a promising candidate material, a BiPt surface alloy.
The Department of Civil Engineering (BYG•DTU) has strengthened its research and education with the employment of two new associated professors to match the growing importance of wood in the construction industry.
During her visit to DTU on September 25, the Chinese Vice Prime Minister Chen Zhili found time to visit building 312
Researchers at CAMP have developed a first principles method to predict the activity of alloys for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.The method accurately reproduces trends in experimental activities for a series of platinum-based alloys.
Friday the 28’th of april Professor Klavs Flemming Jensen from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was conferred the honorary degree “doctor technices honoris causa” at DTU. John VIlladsen who was Professor Jensen’s supervisor when he was a student at KT in the 70’ies gave the speech at the conferral which took place at the official part of the DTU annual celebration.
