Analytical Chemistry (MIURA)

Exploring and Precisely Analyzing Exotic Phenomena with Advanced Photonic Techniques

Building on optical tweezers and microspectroscopy, we aim to create photo-induced mesoscopic environments by employing photon pressure as a localized perturbation. Within these mesoscopic spaces, we explore exotic chemical and physical phenomena triggered by light, and pursue the development and application of next-generation analytical techniques that enable highly sensitive detection through photonic methods.
