Energy and Environmental Measurement Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies laser and radiation measurement technologies that can identify extremely small amounts of isotopes.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring energy and the environment with quanta.
Tomita Lab studies measurement in the energy field and environmental measurement.
It also applies quantum sensing, which makes use of energy quanta, to areas such as medicine and drug discovery, nuclear physics, and public safety.
In particular, the lab is developing measurement technologies that combine radiation and lasers, and applying them in the energy field.
The lab began its activities as Tomita Lab in April 2024.
Key terms
- Quantum sensing
- A technology that makes use of properties at the level of atoms and electrons, such as those of light and radiation, to make extremely precise measurements.
- Isotope
- Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. Their properties are nearly the same, but their masses differ slightly.
- Resonance ionization
- Ionizing only atoms of a targeted type by irradiating them with laser light at the specific wavelength for that atom.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research and development on measurement in the energy field and on environmental measurement, making use of energy quanta. It works on improving laser-based resonance ionization technology and on developing highly sensitive isotope analysis technology that uses the absorption of infrared light.
*Illustrative imageIonizing only the targeted atoms with lasers
By combining a wavelength-tunable laser with a mass spectrometer, the lab is developing a technology that uses resonance ionization to identify and analyze only a specific isotope present in extremely small amounts, with high sensitivity. It carries out joint research, including studies on the behavior of radioactive microparticles in the environment.
*Illustrative imageMeasuring molecules by bouncing light back and forth
The lab is developing a technology based on cavity ring-down spectroscopy, which creates a long optical path by reflecting laser light many times between mirrors, to precisely measure the concentration of molecules containing a specific isotope. It has built a system for measuring extremely small amounts of radiocarbon, and is carrying out joint research to apply it to drug development.
