RESEARCH

Novel imaging devices and systems based on Nanophotonics are being actively studied. In particular, metamaterials/metasurfaces that can freely control light not only realize novel optical phenomena that have not been found in nature, but are also applied to innovative applications and are leading the nanophotonics field. Our group aims to develop next-generation optical devices and functional imaging platforms based on nanophotonics, such as super-resolution imaging, miniaturized optical components.

The spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) refers to the spin-dependent and transverse splitting of oblique incidence that occurs in both refraction and reflection. SHEL has the potential to detect minute changes in the interface. Thus, SHEL is expected to be applied as an ultra-sensitive sensors. Our group has been conducted to increase the shift and efficiency of SHEL, and novel attempts are being planned for application to sensors.

Passive radiative cooling technology is an innovative technology that can lower the temperature by emitting the heat of an object in the form of light without energy consumption. Our group plans to explore the fields of application that can be approached medically through radiative cooling and conduct next-generation research focusing on thermal treatment of patients.
