Supervisor

Associate Professor / Tomoyuki SASAKI
Mr. Sasaki usually gives the impression of being taciturn, but during seminars he comes out of nowhere to offer interesting topics. His e-mails to students are rarely a bit mischievous, and you'll be surprised at the gap between what you see and what you get!

Research Content

Our lab is working on new devices to control terahertz waves.
Due to their high transparency and ease of handling, terahertz waves are useful for detecting properties of materials that could not be measured in the visible light range before.Among them, we are focusing on dynamically changing the polarization state of terahertz waves, and are devoting our efforts to fabricating devices that can achieve such a thing.The polarization of terahertz waves carries various information about matter, and if we can observe them, we can identify what the matter is or image the matter itself.

Terahertz TDS (Time Domain Spectroscopy)

A Day in the Lab

Although life in the living room is often quiet , communication among students during breaks and other times is lively, and a comfortable quietness is a characteristic of this laboratory.Whenever a new member is assigned to a laboratory, we hold a welcome party so that senior and junior members can get to know each other and build a relationship where they can ask each other anything.No strict core hours are set, but the image is generally active between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Some sleep in or leave early. XD)

The laboratory at 8:50 a.m. Nobody there. Is everyone sleeping? lol.
