Primary activity: The main research activity includes both the development of innovative laser sources, through interactions in quadratic nonlinear media, and their application in high-resolution molecular spectroscopy and quantum optics. The current activity is devoted to frequency comb formation in cavity-enhanced second-harmonic generation systems, theoretical modelling of second order nonlinear generation processes in optical resonators, generation of nonclassical states of light, precision spectroscopy with cold stable molecules.
