The EVOQUE project continues to strengthen its presence within the international photonics community. During the recent C-PASS 2025 Conference, project partners presented two significant contributions highlighting progress in mid-infrared (mid-IR) photonic technologies.
Organised as a forum for cutting-edge research in photonics, smart systems, and advanced materials, C-PASS brings together academic and industrial experts to exchange on emerging technologies and applications. More information about the conference can be found on its official website: https://c-pass2025.org
The first presentation, “Metasurfaces for the Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy Application,” showcased advances in engineered metasurfaces designed to enhance spectroscopic performance in the mid-IR range. By tailoring light–matter interactions at the subwavelength scale, these structures open new pathways for highly sensitive and selective chemical detection—key for applications spanning environmental monitoring, industrial process control, and healthcare diagnostics.
A second contribution, “Mid-IR Spatial Light Modulation Using Germanium Metamaterials,” explored the use of germanium-based metamaterials for dynamic control of mid-IR light. This work demonstrates promising approaches toward compact and efficient spatial light modulators, enabling improved beam shaping and adaptive optical systems in this critical spectral region.
Together, these results underline EVOQUE’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of metamaterials and mid-infrared photonics, contributing to the development of next-generation sensing and optical systems.
As an EU-funded initiative, EVOQUE continues to drive innovation at the intersection of nanophotonics, materials science, and applied spectroscopy—supporting Europe’s leadership in advanced photonic technologies.
