Laboratory for NanoPhotonics

The Laboratory for NanoPhotonics provides for the use of advances in solid state physics and optics to manipulate, utilize, and study light-matter interaction in a reduced dimension. Nanophotonics is a branch of applied physics which deals with light-matter interaction on the nanometer scale. In this laboratory, the exciting field of nanophotonics with emphasis on semiconductor nanostructure, near-field optics, optical characterization, photonic device fabrication, and biophotonics is explored with the goal of taking a quantum leap into the future of nanophotonics.
