Electromagnetic waves can be confined and changes its nature flexibly in nanometer to atomic-scale nanosmaterials if we appropriately chose materials and their surface nanostructures. Laboratory for Photonics Nano-Engineering focuses on the study of novel functionalities originating from electronic excitations and photonic properties in nanometer-cale structures/interfaces. The Laboratory is designed for the fabrication and characterization of materials and architectures in nanometer-scale aiming for utilizing the spectral resourses in the infrared to visible region. We also accept students in condensed matter physics for PhD course in collaboration with Hokkaido University.
