Research Description

Our interest lies in the fundamental properties and phenomena in the optical science related with the coherent and nonlinear interaction between the light and matter.
Recent research subjects are studies of ultrafast spin and lattice dynamics in condensed matter, magnetic and dielectric materials, using femtosecond laser spectroscopy and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.
