Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores new science, from fundamentals to applications, using terahertz waves and light.
AboutAbout the lab
Pursuing new science, from fundamentals to applications.
The Nakajima Lab (Terahertz Science Group) studies terahertz spectroscopy, terahertz engineering, ultrafast spectroscopy, and metamaterials.
Across the terahertz, infrared, and optical regions, the lab covers everything from fundamental physical phenomena to industrial application research.
The lab also actively conducts joint research with companies.
The lab is part of the Photon and Beam Science Division of the Institute of Laser Engineering, and accepts students as a cooperating laboratory of the School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Engineering.
Key terms
- Terahertz spectroscopy
