Sensing technology that makes full use of light and radio waves

In the advanced information society of the future, the importance of sensing technology using light and electromagnetic waves will increase. We are conducting research on sensing technologies that will support future society by making full use of a wide range of technologies, from hardware to software, in which electrical systems excel.

What is Photonics Wireless?

The basis of the optical fiber and wireless communication networks that support today's advanced information society is the highly developed photonics (light) and wireless (radio) technologies. However, the applications of photonics and wireless are not limited to telecommunications. In a future society where advanced information technology will continue to advance, sensing will play an increasingly important role in enabling devices to acquire a variety of information about the world around them. This sensing is another area where photonics wireless excels.

Photonics wireless sensing technology utilizes a wide range of technologies, from hardware to software, in which electrical systems excel. Specifically, it requires the use of hardware such as laser light sources and antennas to freely manipulate light and electromagnetic waves, as well as AI and other software to skillfully extract the necessary information from light and electromagnetic waves and make intelligent decisions. Only in this way will we be able to detect and accurately communicate things that are imperceptible to our senses.

　We are researching a wide variety of sensing technologies, including technologies that use light to measure biomolecules inside living organisms and shapes of distant objects with high precision, and technologies that use radio waves to measure topography and types of ground surfaces from satellites and detect land mines underground. Why don't you join us in studying everything from hardware to software and develop your own unique technology through research into new sensing technologies that will help create a prosperous future society?

Using light pulses to view living organisms

In the Koseki Laboratory, we are studying light sources and measurement systems for biological imaging methods that make full use of optical pulses, as well as biological observation applications. Recently, we have been working on ultrafast molecular imaging, ultramulticolor imaging, and quantum optics for high sensitivity.
