“Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.” – Niels Bohr

HOWDY

Welcome to Lan laboratory at Texas A&M University. We believe massless photons are extremely critical information carriers with the ultimate data speed. We thus strive to bring optical solutions to address challenges in energy, manufacturing, health science, information technology, and national security.
