Nano-functional Photonics Research Team
Team Leader
Satoshi KAWATA (D.Eng.)
This research team explores new photonic functions from the interaction of photons and nano-structures to observe, fabricate, detect, analyze, manipulate, and control nano-structures by photons beyond the classical limitation of light. We intensively investigate nano-plasmonic devices, plasmonic metamaterials, ultra large capacity three-dimensional optical data storage, and near-field optical technology combined with nonlinear spectroscopy in order to develop breakthrough science and technologies in optics and photonics.
