Research in my group - the Laboratory for Nano and Micro Photonics (LaNMP) can be best summarized as exploration of light-matter interaction at the nano and micron sale. The main research focus areas are development of:
(i) light confining structures such as microcavities and waveguides and
(ii) artificially engineered optical materials such as metamaterials and hybrid (Organic/Inorganic) nanocomposites.
These focus areas are motivated by the quest to develop high efficiency classical and non-classical light sources, enhanced nonlinear optical devices and integrated quantum photonic circuits.
