In the Nanophotonics and Fiber Optics Laboratory, we explore ways in which light can help us develop extremely sensitive, fast, accurate and environment-friendly devices. This work is being applied to highly-responsive sensing, ultrahigh-speed computing and telecommunications, as well as in the elucidation of new physical phenomena. Our research is focused on plasmonics, silicon and polymer photonics, and also on fiber optics, going beyond the traditional application of optical fibers in telecommunications.

Students are provided with rich experience in research and engineering and prepared for careers in science and industry in the rapidly developing fields of photonics and nanotechnology.
