With the development of nanotechnology and material science, photonic chips are playing an important role in modern research. On the one hand, various remarkable photonic integrated circuits are developing to reduce the complexity and cost of conventional optical systems. On the other hand, novel optoelectronic materials and nanophotonic devices have been extensively studied for precisely manipulating electromagnetic fields and significantly enhancing light-matter interactions.
Photonic Chip Laboratory aims to develop revolutionary photonic integrated circuits and nanophotonic devices for solving crucial issues in information science, biochemistry, and environmental safety, meanwhile, foster students to gain innovative thinking and leadership. Specifically, we focus on the light generation, sensing, detection, and spectral computation on a chip, as well as, explore new on-chip applications. Our research interests include integrated optics, nanophotonics, nanomaterials, fiber optics, and spectroscopy. By combining multidisciplinary knowledge and techniques, we target to overcome challenges in our country and improve the quality of human life.
