Nanophotonics is the science of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. In our group we focus on nanophotonic devices, utilizing variety of materials including  solids (metals, semiconductors, dielectrics), liquids and atomic vapors. A typical research is initiated by defining novel concepts and ideas for state of the art devices, followed by the design and the nanofabrication of such devices, and all the way to their experimental characterization in the lab. Using these devices we explore fundamental phenomena in light-matter interactions. Such devices are also used for the demonstration of myriad applications in chip scale optical communication, memory, imaging, beam shaping, energy harvesting, biochemical sensing, and metrology.
