Research Fields

  2. Ultrafast Optics and Optoelectronics

  3. THz Optics and Photonics

  4. Liquid Crystal Optics and Photonics

Current Research projects (Updated on August 1, 2015)

    [ 1 ] Functional THz Photonic Elements and their Applications  (MOST, Aug. 1, 2015-July 31, 2018)

    We propose to study terahertz functional photonic component and modules for the photonis-enabled post 5G network. These would be potentially useful for applications in (i) multi-gigabit THz wireless-over-fiber communication services; (ii) photonic generation of sub-millimeter waves and signal processing; (iii) photonics-based high-spatial-resolution 3D imaging Radar.


    [ 2 ] Generation and applications of Intense Coherent THz Radiation (MOST, August 1. 2015 - July 31, 2016)

    In the past decades, we have witnessed tremendous progress in the science and technology of the THz (1THz = 1012 Hz) or sub-millimeter waves. It is now possible to consider the interaction and control of intense THz waves with matter; investigate a single THz photon and explore its applications. In this project, we propose to generate coherent high-power THz radiation in order to explore topics in THz nonlinear and quantum photonics. The energy of generated THz pulses is expected to be above 0.3 mJ at a repetition rate of ~ 15 MHz.
     

    [ 3 ] Research and Development of Advanced Fiber Laser Systems and Their Applications, PI (MOST Industrial co-op with Cleverwave Corp. and POFC, June 1. 2015- May 31, 2016)

    In recent years, because of the government pursue energy saving and carbon reduction. Thus, laser application of high-accuracy resistor trimming, LED and solar cell scribing and laser annealing are required for high speed technology. In the decade, lasers has already shown to be superior tool because of convenient and high efficiency for different industrial applications. Regretfully, almost all of the high-power lasers used in the processing centers are imported. So, to develop ultrafast laser is a very important task.
        In collaboration with 虹竣科技、卓越成功, we propose to develop high-pulse-energy ns, ps and fs Yb-fiber lasers. Through efficient nonlinear frequency conversion, green laser which wavelength is 532nm and UV laser output at 266 nm will be generated as well.
        We expect to design fiber lasers （    l = 1 mm）with different pulse durations (first 1-50 ns, second 1-50 ps, third 100-500 fs) with 1kHz-250MHz repetition rate. In the same time, we will try to increase the energy to 100 μJ and test the solar cell laser treatment. Then achieve fourth-harmonic generation to ~10% conversion efficiency. For DMD system, we will try to demonstrate the portable type DMD system, and enhance the bandwidth up to 5 GHz/km.
