Optical Measurement: see energy flows at the nanoscale
We investigate fundamental light-matter and opto-thermo-matter interactions at the micro and nanoscaleto advance both scientific understanding and technological applications. Our research encompasses thermal transport, carrier dynamics, plasmonics, Mie resonances, and polaritonics across diverse material systems including 2D materials, semiconductor nanowires, and optical metamaterials. We employ a multimodal experimental toolkit: frequency-domain optical spectroscopy (e.g., dark-field scattering spectroscopy), space-domain techniuqes (e.g., scanning near-field optical microscopy), and time-domain ultrafast approaches (e.g., pump-probe optics).
