Photon manipulation in photonic nanostructures

Aug. 1, 2010 -

Masaya Notomi was born in Kumamoto, Japan, on 16 February 1964. He received his B.E., M.E. and Dr. Eng. degrees in applied physics from University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan in 1986, 1988, and 1997, respectively. In 1988, he joined NTT Optoelectronics Laboratories. Since then, his research interest has been to control the optical properties of materials and devices by using artificial nanostructures, and engaged in research on semiconductor quantum wires/dots and photonic crystal structures. He has been in NTT Basic Research Laboratories since 1999, and is currently working on light-propagation control by use of various types of photonic crystals. From 1996-1997, he was with Linkoping University in Sweden as a visiting researcher. He is also a guest associate professor of Tokyo Institute of Technology (2003- ). He received 2006/2007 IEEE/LEOS Distinguished Lecturer Award. He is an associate editor of Japanese Journal of Applied Physics. He is a member of the Japan Society of Applied Physics, the American Physical Society, and IEEE/LEOS.
