The Nanophotonic electron acceleration and light-matter interaction at the quantum limit
Laboratory
We research, design, and build an innovative and ground-breaking electron accelerator based on nanophotonic structures manufactured in a state-of-the-art clean room in the Nanofabrication Center at the University.
The research combines many areas: nanofabrication, electromagnetic simulations, nanophotonics and wave optics, ultrafast and ultrashort lasers, electron microscopes, particle accelerators, and design and production of electron-optical systems: magnetic and electrostatic lenses, and more.
The results of the research are primarily meant for applied science and applied research, with an eye towards applications in the various industries, including in the medical treatment of cancer by electron irradiation.
