Professor / ONO Hiroshi, Associate Professor / SAKAMOTO Moritsugu, Assistant Professor / FUJII Kengo
Prof. Ono has research experience at a company and provides practical guidance. Assoc. Prof. Sakamoto gives us detailed guidance on our research. Asst. Prof. Fujii having graduated from a technical college, is available for consultations beyond research. In addition, the professors carefully teach us how to proceed with our research.

Research Content

Electromagnetic wave and lightwave control technologies are fundamental technologies that support our lives, such as optical information processing in optical communications and measurements/tests in factories. Our laboratory mainly studies lightwave control using functional optical materials such as liquid crystals. Specific examples include research on polarization imaging using liquid crystal diffraction gratings and research on nano-order fine processing using topological waves. We are also engaged in many other studies on electromagnetic waves and lightwaves.This laboratory is the best for everyone who want to study lightwaves, or who like physics(including electromagnetics)or chemistry.

A Day in the Lab

We can basically research at our own pace. Contents of research activities vary from day to day, and we do sample preparation, optical experiments, and theoretical analysis. The seminar is held once a week, where students report and discuss the results obtained, introduce papers on optics/photonics, and practice presentations at conferences. Through daily research activities and weekly seminars, we can learn the technological knowledge, logical thinking, and presentation skills required for R&D. You may get stuck in the course of your research, but I believe you will be able to get over it because there are reassuring staffs and colleagues.
