Laboratory
of Optical Spectroscopy

Welcome to the website of the LaSsO research group!!!

The scientific activities of the Laboratory Of Optical Spectroscopy group focus on the investigations of optical, vibrational, and magnetic properties of layered van der Waals materials, e.g. WS₂, MoTe₂, and CrCl₃, and their artificially-stacked heterostructures.

We employ a variety of optical microscopy techniques, such as Raman scattering, photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, and reflectance contrast performed as a function of temperature (4.2 K - 350 K), in magnetic fields up to 17 T, in the pressure range up to 100 GPa.
