Description

In the Photonics Lab we explore various photonic and nanooptical systems, including conducting polymer plasmonic nanoantennas, cellulose-based optical materials, and optical cavities with dynamic structural coloration. The photonics lab provides tools to study optical and optoelectronic properties, including the possibility to probe small areas and to differentiate between properties such as absorption and scattering.
