About the Laboratory

The Iwami Laboratory is developing next-generation optical devices for advanced light control based on metasurfaces.

Metasurfaces are two-dimensional metamaterials that controls the phase of transmitted and reflected light by arranging subwavelength structures in a planar array. Because it can reproduce refractive index distributions not found in natural materials, it enables thinner and more multifunctional designs compared to conventional optical components. The Iwami Laboratory is engaged in the development of new applications for metasurfaces, such as metalenses and holography, as well as efforts to improve their performance.
