Integrated photonics is the study of the optical properties of the group-IV semiconductor and the design and fabrication of devices for generating, manipulating and detecting light. It involves the miniaturization and integration of various photonic components on a single semiconductor chip. Our lab focuses on exploring new material platforms, novel nanofabrication techniques, and integrated optical components with advanced functionalities for vibrational spectroscopy and biochemical sensing.
