Opening up unexplored wavelength region of the light spectrum has been
yearned as basic technology supporting promotion of scientific advance
and industrial development. In Extreme Photonics Research Group, we further
pursue the potential of novel optical technology being developed in RIKEN
such as intense soft-x-ray attosecond pulse sources, near-field optical
microscope, and live cell imaging. Using advantages of RIKEN's research
complex covering physics, chemistry, engineering, biology and medical science,
applications of these light sources are also pursued to explore new scientific
fields. This program is also operated through close collaboration with
Institute of Molecular Science and a network with several universities
in Tokyo area.
