Supervisor
Prof. Hiroshi ONO and Assoc. Prof. Moritsugu SAKAMOTO
Prof. Ono and Assoc. Prof. Sakamoto teach us how to proceed with researchs, write reports, and make effective presentations. In addition, Prof. Ono has research experience in a company and kindly shares us his knowledge of R&D that will be useful in our futures.
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 special lightwave called optical vortices. 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.

Laser optical system. We fabricate and evaluate optical elements using optical systems.
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.
Scene of usual laboratory. Currently, 13 students belong to this laboratory.
