Dr Shuvendu Jena
Atomic & Molecular Physics DivisionBhabha Atomic Research Centre WELCOME VISITORS
I do research on thin films and multilayer optical coatings and its related areas which are essential for developing precision optical devices viz. high reflection mirrors, antireflection coatings, narrow bandpass filters, beam splitters/combiners, heat mirrors, etc. in the UV-VIS-NIR region. Apart from that, research is being carried out on Tamm plasmon based hybrid photonic structures targeting perfect absorber, refractive index sensor, hot electron photodetector, and low emissivity coating applications.
