AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to open new frontiers in photon science
The Sarukura-Shimizu Lab pursues the possibilities of photonics technology and works on developing next-generation light sources.
It aims to open new frontiers in photon science that can grow from the interface between new materials and light, and between science and engineering.
Its research results on all-solid-state wavelength-tunable ultraviolet lasers and high-intensity terahertz light sources are introduced as being highly regarded worldwide.
The lab also conducts research with nanotechnology and biotechnology in mind, and puts effort into applied research as well as basic research.
Key terms
- Ultraviolet laser
- A laser that emits light in the ultraviolet wavelength range, which is invisible to the eye.
- Terahertz waves
- Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between radio waves and light.
- Wavelength tunability
- The property of being able to change the wavelength (color) of the emitted light.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to open new frontiers in photon science that can grow from the interface between new materials and light, and between science and engineering, and works on developing next-generation light sources. At present, it is focusing in particular on developing next-generation short-wavelength optical materials, which are expected to help foster new industries.
