Superlens and Hyperlens

The conventional projection imaging resolution is always limited by the diffraction nature of the light waves. The theme of the nano-imaging group is to develop and demonstrate new imaging techniques with resolution beyond the diffraction limit... Read more

Negative Index and Negative refraction

Metamaterials exhibit many interesting optical properties and bring about new exciting applications that cannot be obtained from nature materials, such as terahertz and optical magnetism, negative refraction, superlensing and cloaking... Read more

Novel Plasmonic Waveguides

The research goal of the Plasmonics group is the investigation of the light interaction with surface plasmon modes. The coherent excitation of quasi-free electrons of the conduction band of noble metals can give rise to new physical effects, especially if the metal is structured on a subwavelength scale...

Bio Engineering

Researchers in our lab are actively inventing novel technologies that allow precise manipulation and analysis of cellular activities using non-traditional optical, electrical, thermal, mechanical methods. Currently our research activities are focused in the following three areas... Read more
