Nonlinear Optics
Nonlinear optics deals with converting laser with one color to another. Our research shows advanced ways to get these frequency conversions, but also shape the emitted light’s parameters.

Plasmons
Surface Plasmons Polaritons are electro-magnetic waves that propagate on a surface of a metal, and exhibit special qualities. We study how these waves can be manipulated in useful ways.

​Electron Optics
Electrons have mass and charge, but they still exhibit wave phenomena like interference. In our research we study electron-matter-light interactions as well as creating ways to sculpture the quantum wave-function of electrons.
