Welcome to the Laboratory for Sub-λ Optics.
As optical physicists and electrical engineers, we explore how light interacts with matter and then exploit these interactions to enable advanced photonic devices.
Our research focuses on the unique optical properties of nanostructured materials including:
Modified Selection Rules
Using structured optical environments to enhance "forbidden" optical transitions.
High Efficiency Solid-State Lighting
Enhanced light matter interactions for improved light emission and extraction in LEDs.
Optical Frequency Magnetism
Design and realization of simple, non-periodic composite materials modified permeability in the visible regime.
Sub-Wavelength Lasers
Design and fabrication of non-conventional optical cavities for lasing and sensing applications.
