    Our current research topics are:
  1. Near-field optical interactions on nano-particles, clusters, and fractal thin films; interactions of the surface plasmon polariton and localized surface plasmon; plasmon waveguides and metamaterials.
  2. Electro-optical components and devices studied by near-field scanning optical microscopy and imaging spectroscopy.
