The lab uses light as a probe to investigate the properties of materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing inside materials just by shining light on them
The Sota Lab is an engineering lab for the optical properties of materials that uses light to probe the properties of materials, aiming to contribute to society with the knowledge gained.
Light is a type of electromagnetic wave and interacts with the electronic systems inside materials, so differences arise in the properties of light as it passes through a material.
Both inorganic and organic materials have their own distinct electronic systems, so by evaluating these differences appropriately, the properties of a material can be monitored.
With visible light, the energy of the photons hardly perturbs the material, so a key feature is that materials can be examined without contact and noninvasively.
Key terms
- Optical properties of materials
- Properties specific to each material that arise from the interaction between light and the electrons in the material
- Noninvasive measurement
- Measuring without damaging or altering the target. Visible light hardly perturbs materials
- Hyperspectral data
- Three-dimensional data in which each pixel of a two-dimensional image holds a series of brightness values for each wavelength
ResearchResearch themes
Light is a type of electromagnetic wave and interacts with electronic systems in materials. By appropriately evaluating the resulting differences in the properties of light, the properties of a material can be monitored without contact and noninvasively. Using this principle, the lab investigates the properties of various materials with light as a probe.
