Nanophotonics (ON)

This group focuses on the study and design of optics and optical devices that interact with light on the nanometer scale. This new field is enabled by newly developed capabilities to fabricate optical components and devices on a nano-scale. Lithographic, interferometric and laser based methods of nanoscale structuring are opening the way towards 2D and 3D nano-structured optical components that manipulate the phase, amplitude and other parameters of optical signal beams. These nano-structured components will revolutionize many photonic technologies, including for example, composite diffraction elements integrated with semiconductor and fiber sources and multi-functional integrated photonic elements on a single chip. The application of these nanophotonic technologies will permeate through many new photon-based areas of industry and scientific research.
