Open Science

At the Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements we are committed to Open Science. We use arXiv and Zenodo as freely accessible repositories for sharing our research publications and measurement data sets. Our measurements and data analysis codes are made available online to allow scientists to reproduce the results from our publications. Moreover, we record and share online the workshop materials organized by our group. Scientific talks by our group members are available on our Youtube K-Lab channel and workshop materials are available on our Optomechanical Technologies (OMT) project channel.

We have also committed to sharing tacit knowledge of our fabrication processes with other researchers around the world through our open science initiative at Nanofab-net.org. This is an open-access platform for sharing and collecting information about processes in the cleanroom that could help other users to speed up nano-fabrication process development. These notes are usually “unpublished” and often neglected in scientific publications, as they are perhaps considered not important to share because they might have been part of a trial and error or a failure in the fabrication steps encountered. We are focusing on giving these “unpublished” notes a value and encouraging people in the community to post their tested knowledge and help to optimize a process or solve issues in the fabrication. Such notes are tagged and published on Zenodo and assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), thus making them searchable, citable, and interactive on a free and open-access platform. Please contact our PhD student, Mohammad Bereyhi, for further information on Nanofab-net.
