The LENS research lab is well-equipped for performing frontier research in nanophotonics, ranging from generation to manipulation and detection of photons. We can characterize materials and devices with microscopy, linear and nonlinear spectroscopy, energy-momentum spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and time-domain spectroscopy. To that end, a partial list of the lab equipment is available [here]. The LENS lab is also well-facilitated with both internal and external facilities such as the following.
