RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics Innovative Photon Manipulation Research Team

Team Leader: Takuo Tanaka (D.Eng.)

Research Summary

Takuo  Tanaka(D.Eng.)

Innovative Photon Manipulation Research Team intensively studies on the photon manipulation technology using knowledge and experiences obtained from the researches on light interaction with sub-wavelength fine structures. New photon manipulation technology will be applied for three-dimensional nanofabrication systems, high sensitive single molecular sensing and detection devices, and next generation ultrahigh capacity optical data storages.
