The new technology of obtaining perovskite crystals is the future of integrated photonics.
Scientists from Łukasiewicz – IMiF and the University of Warsaw have developed an innovative technology for producing perovskite crystals, paving the way for groundbreaking applications in photonics.
The collaboration and combination of unique expertise from these institutions resulted in a publication in Nature Materials.

The research involved: University of Warsaw / Łukasiewicz – IMiF / CNR Nanotec, Institute of Nanotechnology / Łódź University of Technology.

Precision in every micron

Łukasiewicz – IMiF was responsible for creating precise gallium arsenide templates, essential for growing high-quality crystals. The researchers focused on developing defect-free templates using electron lithography and plasma etching techniques. It was on these precise semiconductor-based templates that polymer molds were formed, in which the perovskite crystals were grown.
