Experimental Nanophotonics Group
Welcome to Xianzhong Chen's research group
Welcome to our group
The group led by Xianzhong Chen is dedicated to the fundamental physics of optical metasurfaces and ultrathin optical devices for imaging, defence, display and information processing. Current research interests include metalenses, holograms, structured light beams, 3D polarization manipulation, polarimetric imaging and edge imaging. Our research has enabled the discovery of new phenomena and the development of new prototype devices, which might be essential for future technologies. We have built connections with local industry, including STMicroelectronics, Renishaw and Ceres Holographics. We are looking for new links with relevant researchers and industrial end-users to expand our knowledge of the application domain. We hope you can find something interesting and visit us again.
