Nanophotonics Lab (NPL), previously at the Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad, has been moved to Manipur University since February 2023. NPL conducts research on the development of optical sensing platforms based on plasmonic and photonic devices to detect chemical and biological molecules at ultra-low concentrations.
The current research work focuses on the following area:
SPR sensor for protein detection
SERS sensor for the detection of toxic chemicals and biological agents
Whispering gallery mode sensor for cancer biomarker detection
Nanofabrication and Nanoimprint lithography
Multifunctional nanostructures for photocatalysis and SERS sensing applications
NPL welcomes research collaborations with other research groups worldwide. Motivated students and Post-Docs are welcome to join the NPL research group at Manipur University. Please write to the lab supervisor: rakesh@manipuruniv.ac.in
