Nano-Photonic Devices

  1. Opto-electronic Devices, Structures, and ApplicationsOther than the above mentioned basic research directions, we have also worked on many applied projects in the past years and will continue to do so in the future. Those projects include improvement few of frequency stabilization of semiconductor diode lasers, tunable bandwidth laser source, broadband electro-optical modulators, and optical tweezers. We will continue to identify and work on practical problems and projectsin the future leading to device applications in opto-electronics and other biomedical research.
