Development of Environmentally-Friendly Optical Elements/Functional Materials using New Materials and Nano-Optical Fusion Technology (Green Innovation)
Summary
Basic research is conducted on optical new-concept devices using the local optical electric field enhancement and the light trapping effects in nanoscale metallic microstructures and photonic crystals, and research is conducted on new optical materials providing nonlinear optical phenomena with low light intensity as well as nonlinear optical devices.
Also, research is conducted on the creation and functional evaluation of various polymeric materials that use or manipulate light as well as new polymerization reaction control, primarily from the perspective of global environmental preservation and sustainable chemistry. For example, the artificial synthesis of optically-active helical nanowire using plant-derived substances as raw materials and its application to advanced materials and new optical elements, etc. and production of solar cells and light-emitting elements that use low-cost synthetic polymers.
