Welcome to the Home of Nanophotonics Research at the Illinois State University!
OUR THEME: Our research is at the nexus of nanotechnology and optics! We use light to
excite single nanostructures (a few tens of nano-meters in dimensions!);
and probe their interactions with light using
optical spectroscopy. Currently,
we are looking into the possibility of enhancement and control of
"magnetic" light-matter interactions in high-index dielectric nanoparticles, metamaterials, rare earth ions, etc. For more details, see RESEARCH. HIGHLIGHTED NEWS:
OUR SPONSOR: We acknowledge the support from the ELECT, PHOTONICS, & MAG
DEVICE (EPMD), Division of Electrical, Communication
& Cyber System (ECCS), National Science Foundation (NSF) for funding our research (Award # 1809410)! | RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY: We
are currently looking for motivated students to join our group. If you are
interested in experimental research, send an email to Dr. Uttam Manna at
umanna@ilstu.edu. |
