AboutAbout the lab
Creating light to see the nature of matter
The Miyamoto Lab researches cutting-edge laser technologies for photon science.
Based on nonlinear photonics, the lab generates electromagnetic waves from the ultraviolet to the terahertz range, and uses them as a foundation to explore new properties of matter.
Its research themes include nonlinear wavelength conversion, the generation of structured light in the terahertz range, and terahertz circular dichroism spectroscopic imaging.
The lab also conducts joint research with the RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics and the Terahertz Research Center at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology.
Key terms
- Nonlinear photonics
- A field that controls light by using phenomena in which the wavelength and other properties of light change when intense light strikes a material
- Terahertz
- A band of electromagnetic waves with frequencies between radio waves and light. Its use in material analysis and next-generation communications is being studied
- Structured light
- Light whose intensity, phase, and polarization distributions have been deliberately engineered in space
