Research Group

Optical analysis tools for investigation of nanostructured devices including Near-field Scanning Optical Microscope, fiber-coupled microscope for single particle spectroscopy, leakage radiation setup for surface plasmon imaging, near-infrared waveguide analysis setup, and variable temperature photoluminescence setup. Projects include manipulation of surface plasmon dispersion in nanoscale thin films, enhancement of erbium excitation in semiconductor nanocrystal doped oxides, and enhancement of optical nonlinearities using plasmon resonances.
