Lab introduction

 

Our research aims to develop better ways of controlling physical states of light in pursuit of future photonics technologies in emerging industrial areas – Tbit/s-level data processing & telecommunications, next-generation display devices, remote sensors, and low-power & high-speed artificial-intelligence modules. 

We study how to build micro-structures to create new optical phenomena and photonic devices. Associated research activities include 
 
       •    Fundamental physics on nanophotonic phenomena,
       •    Numerical analysis for quantitative study and device design, 
       •    Nano-fabrication using cutting-edge deposition, lithography, and characterization tools, 
       •    Optical measurements using microscopy and spectroscopy systems.
 
We presently focus on following sub-topics at the front of the modern optical science and photonic technologies. 

        •    Non-Hermitian physics
        •    Topological nanophotonics
        •    Micro and nano lasers
        •    Non-Hermitian optical waveguides
        •    Neuromorphic photonics

Working on these topics, we stay at the bridge between our fundamental scientific curiosity and the technological utility, where we put basic physical elements together for novel optical effects and devices to happen in real.
