Research Interests

Development of novel optical measurement techniques using optical frequency combs and terahertz waves

Measurement is often referred to as the “mother of science and technology,” and it’s said that if you can’t measure it, you can’t create it. Furthermore, optical science and technology are considered as the “salt of industry,” providing Japan’s industries with a competitive edge. In this context, the advancement of optical measurement technology not only supports science and technology but also fosters innovation. While it may sometimes be seen as the straightforward application and development of known technology, the essence of innovation lies in the creation of new optical measurement devices. We believe that the foundation of science and technology lies in “creating things” through device development. We are committed to the pursuit of developing “ONLY ONE” devices that are unique in the world, based on the idea that, as evident from Nobel Prize examples, “new discoveries” are often realized through “handmade devices that no one else has” rather than commercially available equipment.

We particularly focus on invisible light such as optical frequency combs, terahertz waves, and ultra-short pulse lasers and are dedicated to developing unique and original novel optical measurement techniques by leveraging their characteristics.
