Sadgrove Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores nanoscale transport by moving photons and nanoparticles with optical waveguides.

AboutAbout the lab
Transporting light and particles in the nano world.
Sadgrove Lab studies the phenomenon of particles being transported at the nanoscale.
Building on an understanding of the essence of light-matter interaction, the lab conducts experiments that use optical waveguides to transport photons, biological nanoparticles, and atoms.
Alongside understanding fundamental physical phenomena, the lab also works on developing next-generation technologies.
On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Nano Transport Lab."
Key terms
- Optical waveguide
- A structure that confines light and guides it along a defined path. This lab uses thin optical fibers.
- Photon
- The unit of light when it is viewed as particles. This lab transports photons through optical waveguides.
- Quantum dot
- A semiconductor particle nanometers in size. This lab combines it with gold nanoparticles and uses it as a light source.
ResearchResearch themes
The transport of particles at the nanoscale has a major impact on both fundamental physics and everyday life. While seeking to understand the essence of light-matter interaction, the lab studies the transport of photons, nanoparticles, and atoms using optical waveguides.
Quantum communication using nanostructures
This research uses nanostructures to generate and transport photons for quantum communication. Topics include a light source in which quantum dots combined with gold nanoparticles send photons directly into an optical fiber.
