Nanophotonics

Nanophotonics Laboratory is led by Prof. Kuo-Ping Chen at Institute of Photonics Technologies (IPT), National Tsing Hua University (NTHU). Nanophotonics is our core knowledge and the application in Meta and Quantum is our goal.

Our lab is focusing on:

  • Nano-fabrication

  • Optical properties of metamaterials

  • Plasmonics

  • E-beam lithography

  • Nonlinear Optics

Metamaterials and plasmonics nanoantennas have gathered great attention in recent years. Because the structure is usually smaller than the operating wavelength, metamaterial is a kind of artificial material but could provide very unusual physical property. For example, negative refractive index, cloaking (transformation optics), and modifying the photonic density of states (hyperbolic metamaterials).

Current members include the principal investigator, 14 graduate students (3 Ph.D. and 11 master students).
