Director: Assistant Professor Eungkyu Lee (eleest@khu.ac.kr)
Research Overview
In nanotechnology, the light-matter interaction has received great research attention as the coherent wave nature of photons at the nanoscale enables the systematic engineering of optical properties in interfacial nanostructures. We can tune the light distribution to achieve extraordinary optical phenomena, such as optical trapping, surface plasmon, and meta-materials. In the meantime, the engineered photonic functions can lead to interesting synergetic effects when it is paired with systems utilizing the coupling between photons and other types of energy carriers (e.g., electron, phonon). For example, when it is coupled with the thermal system, it can significantly impact the realization of advanced opto-thermal applications (e.g., solar-thermal water treatment and radiative cooler) as well as functional bio-photonics (e.g., active drug-delivery, photothermal therapy, colloidal and molecular assembly). Also, optical devices like optical isolator, photovoltaics or light-emitting diodes can always leverage novel nanostructures to improve energy conversion efficiencies by enhancing photon absorption or emission rate. It thus becomes clear that nanophotonics plays a critical role in enabling novel functions of nanotechnology.
