Our Mission
Our nanophotonics research aims to develop advanced optical materials and nanotechnology to provide highly efficient light manipulation for both fundamental study of light-matter interactions at a nanoscale and broad photonic applications. We have world-leading expertise in the use of structured light as an independent information carrier to convey more optical information, with significant impact on photonic chips, optical displays and communications, optical and fibre imaging, and photonic sensors.
Our Research Topics
3D meta-optics
Photonic integration
Metafibre optics
Structured light
Structured light with infinite dimensions enlightens our understanding of light and its interaction with matter.
See Reference
Holographic displays
Holography offers a vital platform for future display technology, including VR/AR, LiDAR, and AI.
See Reference
Nano-optics
Nanoscopic and ultrafast optics provides unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions for studying light-matter interactions.
See Reference
Optical sensing
Ultrahigh-sensitivity sensing can be achieved from structured optical materials including nonlocal metasurfaces harnessing high-quality-factor resonances.
See our recent work in metasurface-based molecular sensing
See how we talk about structured light, with a particular focus placed to nanophotonic manipulation of twisted light carrying orbital angular momentum modes.
See our work in the use of 3D meta-optics for twisted light holography and molecular sensing.
See our work in 3D meta-optics. The unleashed height degree of freedom in 3D meta-atoms allows not only more advanced light manipulation but also enhanced light-matter interactions.
