Research at Walter Schottky Institute

The institute research spans a wide range of topics in quantum optics and photonic quantum engineering, nanophotonics and nanoelectronics, photocatalysis and renewable energy conversion, semiconductor optoelectronics and integrated photonics technologies. 

A unifying aspect of the research done in WSI is the use of nanofabrication and nanotechnology to unlock the full potential of solid-state materials for applications. The variety of research topics of individual WSI groups are illustrated in the interactive diagram below. Further details of the groups research can be found at the induvial group pages.
