Engineering Light waves for Releasing Tomorrow's Technologies
Advanced Optics and Photonics (AOP) (2020-) focuses on designing, fabricating and engineering subwavelength nanostructures that can resonantly couple to the incident light and manipulate the light's behaviour on demand.
Capitalising on our expertise in nanophotonics, we aim to realise tomorrow’s technologies today, via the following research streams:
-
Linear photonics, where arrays of nanostructures , so-called metasurfaces, are designed to reproduce the functions of bulk optics and, on occasion, offering functionalities that are not possible with conventional diffractive optics.
-
Nonlinear photonics, where all-optical conversation of light frequencies (colours) via engineered metasurfaces are designed and fabricated for NIR imaging, night-vision, etc.
-
Bio-photonics, where ultrasensitive nanoscale sensors are designed and developed for the detection of low-concentration substances/biomarkers down to the single protein level.
