The WinPhoS Research Group actively participated in the European Conference on Integrated Optics (ECIO 2026), held in Zurich, Switzerland, from 15–17 June 2026, contributing with one invited talk and two poster presentations.
🔊 The invited talk was delivered by Prof. Nikos Pleros, entitled "Photonics in Computing", highlighting recent advances in photonic computing.
📃 Poster presentation I
Mrs. Lamprini Damakoudi presented her poster titled "High-sensitivity Bimodal Plasmo-Photonic Biosensor for C-Reactive Protein Detection", showcasing a highly sensitive plasmo-photonic sensing platform for biomarker detection.
This work was supported by the European project AMBROSIA (no. 101093166).
📃 Poster presentation II
Mr. Panagiotis Zdoupas presented his poster titled "Record-High Sensitivity On-Chip Refractive Index Sensor using Twin-Plasmonic-Arm Silicon Photonic MZIs", introducing a novel silicon photonic Mach–Zehnder interferometer architecture that achieves record-high refractive index sensing performance.
This work was supported by the European project @AMBROSIA (no. 101093166).
We are pleased to highlight the participation of the WinPhoS researchers at CLEO 2026, held in Charlotte, NC, USA.
Dr. Dimitris Bellas presented his work entitled “Slow-Light-Enhanced Plasmo-Photonic Refractive Index Sensor for Record-High Sensitivity Performance”, while Mrs. Lamprini Damakoudi presented “Group-Index Engineered Bimodal Plasmo-Photonic Interferometric Sensor for Enhanced Sensitivity”. Both contributions come from the WinPhoS Research Group.
These works were supported by the European H2020 project AMBROSIA.
We sincerely thank both researchers for their dedication and excellent work.
We were delighted to welcome last week Dr. Hideyuki Nasu from Furukawa Electric, Japan, to our lab in Thessaloniki, Greece!
During his visit, Dr. Nasu introduced the company’s work and highlighted recent advancements and research directions in optical communications through his presentation titled: “Introduction to Furukawa Electric and FITEL Products – Research on VCSEL-based Transceivers and High Optical Power External Laser Sources for Co-Packaged Optics (CPO)”.
We sincerely thank Dr. Nasu for his visit and valuable contribution, as we are exploring future perspectives in photonics technologies.
