Research Methods

Our lab combines cutting-edge methods in experimental nano-optics and computational electromagnetics to explore novel optical phenomena at the subwavelength scale.

Experimental Nano-optics

Toolkit for atomic, molecular, and optical physics including home-built confocal/near-field microscope, time-resolved photoluminescence system, optical heterodyne interferometer, high-resolution imaging spectrograph, monolayer deposition setup, and general wet chemistry facilities.

Computational Electromagnetics

Home-built codes which implement finite difference methods (modesolvers and sourced-field propagators in the time and frequency domain), volume integral methods (e.g. method of moments/coupled dipole method), standard optical analysis (e.g. Gaussian optics and beam propagation methods), Green's dyadic solvers (analytical libraries and numerical Dyson solvers), homogeneity models, and specific scattering analysis methods (e.g. Mie codes).
