Integrated Nanophotonics Group
About our group
The Integrated Nanophotonics Group has started in January 2009. Our research is aimed toward developing fundamental understanding and new applications of nanophotonics integration in diverse fields ranging from silicon photonics to cell biology. Important elements of our work are plasmonic nanostructures, nanowires, and complex nanophotonic networks.
