1. Silicon Photonics
Silicon photonics leverages mature semiconductor fabrication to create high-density, energy-efficient photonic integrated circuits (PICs). In our lab, we actively design, simulate, and test cutting-edge active and passive optical devices for next-generation communications. Join us to gain hands-on experience in building the future of ultra-fast data transmission and on-chip optical systems.
2. Graphene Photonics
Graphene's exceptional optical and electrical properties open the door to broadband, ultra-fast optoelectronics. We explore the integration of these 2D materials with nanoscale on-chip devices to break the limits of conventional light manipulation. Come work with us to pioneer novel, flexible, and highly responsive photonic architectures from the ground up.
3. Optical Sensors
Optical sensors provide ultra-sensitive detection by monitoring light-matter interactions, such as resonance shifts in micro-ring structures. We develop highly precise, miniaturized sensing platforms targeted for biomedical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. Join our team to design, fabricate, and test innovative lab-on-a-chip technologies that solve real-world detection challenges.
4. Plasmonics
Plasmonics confines light far below the diffraction limit by exploiting surface plasmon polaritons on metal nanostructures. Our research focuses on engineering plasmonic antennas and metamaterials using high-precision nano-lithography techniques. If you are fascinated by sub-wavelength optics and extreme light concentration, this is the perfect place to bring your ideas to life.
5. Mid-IR Photonics
The mid-infrared "molecular fingerprint" region is crucial for identifying complex chemical and biological substances with unparalleled sensitivity. We are dedicated to developing highly efficient waveguides, light sources, and detectors tailored for this unique spectral range. Join us in creating advanced, chip-scale sensing systems that will redefine molecular detection.
6. Novel-Material-Based Photonics
To overcome the physical limits of traditional platforms, we investigate emerging materials with outstanding electro-optic properties, such as advanced thin-film platforms (thin-film lithium niobat, TFLN platform). Our team takes pride in the full cycle of research—from rigorous electromagnetic simulations to the precise nano-fabrication of high-speed optical modulators. Join our dynamic research journey to push the boundaries of materials science and integrated photonics together.
