Optical Information Science and Technology: The research focus on using photon as information carrier to develop high-speed, large-capacity, and highly integrated photonic devices for information generation, propagation, processing and display. The main research directions include: (1) Principle and technology of highly integrated photonic chips, such as high Q micro-cavity photonic devices and its application; (2) Modern optical spectroscopy technology and devices, such as two-dimension folded imaging spectrometer, and high-speed parallel-operated ellipsometer; (3) Principle of liquid crystal and its application; (4) Dynamics of novel materials for information storage and processing by nonlinear optical techniques. The research team in this direction has published tens of journal articles in Physical Review Letters, Journal of American Chemical Society, Optical Letters, and Optical Express. Some results have received great attention in the world, and special reports introducing the research are published in “laser focus world” and “Photonics Spectra”.
