Strategic Objectives
• Master the physics of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) for advanced sensing.
• Explore sub-wavelength confinement techniques that defy classical optics.
• Design metallic nanostructures for next-generation telecommunications.
• Understand the synergy between electromagnetic fields and free electrons.
The Core Challenge
Traditional photonics are restricted by the diffraction limit, preventing the integration of light into high-speed, ultra-small electronic circuits.
