Welcome to the Ultrafast & Nanoscale Optics Group at UCSD​

The Ultrafast and Nanoscale Optics Group is an integral part of the Applied Optics-Photonics and Nanoscale Devices and Systems Programs of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of California, San Diego. The research group is directed by Prof. Yeshaiahu Fainman. ​
Current research areas include:
  • Broadband wavelength selective filers
  • Integrated microwave photonics
  • CMOS compatible nonlinear metamaterials
  • Integrated nonlinear processing
  • Nanoscale lasers
  • Brain imaging
  • Integrated spectroscopy
Recent News:
  • March 2019: We'll be at CLEO 2019 in San Jose presenting our recent work.
  • March 2019: Engineers developing education kit to teach students practical skills in integrated photonics.
