Cutting Edge Laser Technology and Photonic Devices for Communications, Precision Measurements, Bio-Medical and Industrial Applications

Nanocarbons, such as Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene, have very useful nonlinear photonic properties. We are pursuing researches on novel devices and short-pulse lasers using these nanocarbon materials. Especially, we have realized original and ultra-high performance fiber lasers, such as short-cavity short-pulse fiber lasers having high pulse repetition rate > 10GHz, and fast and wide wavelength swept fiber lasers that can sweep its wavelength in wide sweep range (>100nm) at very fast sweep speed (repetition rate > a few 100kHz). We are trying to apply these fiber lasers to communications, precision measurements, bio-medical and industrial applications.
