I am Corné and I am doing my master project in Kuipers Lab under supervision of Thijs. I did my bachelor in theoretical physics in Utrecht and after that I enrolled myself for the master program Applied Physics at the TU-Delft. During the master project I will investigate the electromagnetic fields in chiral photonic crystal waveguides. These waveguides differ from regular photonic crystal waveguides by their broken symmetries. The research goal is to optimize the chiral fields around the slab using simulations. After this the waveguides are fabricated and measured using a near-field microscope.
