포토닉스는 현재 우리 주변의 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있는 기술일 뿐만 아니라 미래의 핵심 기술로 판단되고 있다. 본 연구실은 포토닉스의 여러 분야 중 광 도파로를 기반으로 하는 광 집적회로 개발에 집중하고 있다. 특히 실리콘 기반의 포토닉 집적회로와 금속과 실리콘 기반의 플라즈모닉 집적회로 개발을 진행해오고 있다. 이와 더불어 그래핀 기반의 광소자 개발과 다양한 광 센서 개발도 함께 진행하고 있다.
Nowadays liquid crystal displays, light emitting diodes, and optical communications, which are representative examples of photonics, are closely related to everyday life. Thus photonics seems to be ubiquitous or omnipresent. Moreover, it is believed to be essential in developing future technologies such as photonics-aided electronics, quantum computing, extremely sensitive detection of a single molecule, etc. The goal of UP Lab is not only to play a leading role in developing the future technologies but also to make disruptive improvements in the current technologies. We focus on design, realization, and analysis of photonic and plasmonic waveguide devices working at the telecom wavelengths, optical bio/chemical sensors, and mid-infrared devices handling free-space beams.
