The Micro-Optics Lab conducts applied research on optical communication and optical measurement based on optical fibers. Behind this is the explosive growth in data traffic driven by the spread of Internet-based services, which has made increasing the capacity and density of optical fiber communication networks and strengthening their security urgent issues. Optical fiber communication networks are increasingly being applied to distributed sensing, which measures temperature, pressure, vibration, and more continuously over space. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Yoshida Lab."

The Yoshizawa Lab studies how to treat cancer and other conditions by focusing ultrasound energy on the affected area. In medicine, ultrasound is widely used to take images of internal organs and to examine blood flow. Because ultrasound therapy can treat the affected area without bleeding, it is gentle on the body and is attracting attention as a method that meets the needs of an aging society. The lab accepts graduate students from the Graduate School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering.

The Ultrafast Optical Communication Lab studies ultrafast, high-efficiency optical communication technologies for efficiently carrying ever-growing amounts of data. The lab works on optical time-division multiplexing, which shifts and stacks very short light pulses in time, and on digital coherent optical communication, which applies wireless communication methods to optical communication. With new communication services such as 5G and Beyond 5G in view, the lab also aims to develop a new field that fuses optical and wireless communication as the same electromagnetic waves. The lab also works on stabilizing lasers for communication and on using them to measure earthquakes and tsunamis.

The Advanced Wireless Communication Technology Lab studies technologies that make wireless communication, such as mobile phones, more reliable and lower in power consumption. The lab aims to realize advanced information networks that integrate terrestrial and satellite systems. It conducts consistent research and development, from hardware technologies such as signal processing circuits, devices, and packaging to wireless system technologies built on them. The lab belongs to the Information and Communication Infrastructure Research Division of the Research Institute of Electrical Communication.

The Information Storage Systems Lab studies high-density information storage based on magnetic recording and magnetic devices. The amount of data generated as multimedia, IoT, and AI information is increasing rapidly every year, and storing it requires storage systems with high performance, large capacity, and low power consumption. The lab models magnetic materials and devices using micromagnetic simulation. It also studies magnetic devices for neuromorphic computing and probabilistic computing.

Akira Sato, Professor

The Ultra-Broadband Communication Infrastructure Lab conducts research to pioneer and put into practical use technologies for millimeter waves and terahertz waves (sub-millimeter waves), an electromagnetic wave region whose technology is still under development. The lab creates new electronic devices and circuit systems that operate in this region, and carries out research and development on applying them to information and communication systems and measurement systems. The lab consists of the Ultra-Broadband Device Physics research field led by Professor Sato and the Ultra-Broadband Quantum Electronics research field led by Associate Professor Lin. It belongs to the Information and Communication Infrastructure Division of the Research Institute of Electrical Communication.

Naofumi Homma, Professor

The Environmentally Harmonious Secure Information Systems Lab researches next-generation information security systems, aiming to build an information and communication infrastructure that anyone can use with confidence. The lab considers that in next-generation information and communication infrastructure such as the Internet of Things, security cannot always be maintained by simply extending existing technologies. The lab develops technologies that ensure safety and reliability not only for networks and software but starting from the level of device hardware such as sensor devices. The lab is also working on putting its research results into use in society and on standardization.

The Novel-Concept VLSI Systems Lab (the Hanyu-Natsui-Onizawa Lab) researches design technologies for very-large-scale integrated circuits (VLSI) based on new ideas. Performance improvements in integrated circuits have been driven mainly by advances in microfabrication, but this approach alone is expected to reach its limit. The lab therefore aims to overcome that limit not only with conventional silicon CMOS circuits but also with circuit design methods and system configurations that make use of the characteristics of new materials and devices. Another goal is to realize highly functional, multifunctional VLSI that imitates the intelligent activity of the human brain.

Shin Saito, Professor

The Saito-Ogawa Lab belongs to the Ultrafine Electronics Division in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University. The research page lists next-generation hard disks, Fe-based spin nanoclusters, magnetic powder for next-generation ICT, and light–spin properties as research themes. The lab's website posts research videos, mainly as a lab introduction for third-year undergraduates.

Toshiro Kaneko, Professor

The Plasma Science and Technology Lab clarifies the properties of plasma in contact with liquids and studies its applications. At atmospheric pressure, the lab uses its own techniques to visualize and study fast phenomena occurring at the interface between plasma and liquid. Using plasma generated from air and water, the lab produces reactive species used to inactivate bacteria and viruses, and works on developing new sterilization technologies. Building on electrical and information engineering, the lab conducts joint research with researchers in agriculture, medicine, chemistry, and materials, as well as with private companies.
