Includes Laser Physics, Medical-photonics and Quantum Optics and the Photonics Laboratory. Laser spectroscopic techniques have been pioneered at City College and are being used to study dynamical properties of a variety of physical and biological systems. Several laboratories cited in the research sections above make extensive use of laser-scattering and laser-based diagnostic techniques.
Beyond this, City College has a comprehensive research program in quantum optics and applied quantum phenomenology.

Research in my group, the Laboratory for Nano and Micro Photonics (LaNMP) can be broadly defined as controlling light matter interaction at the nanoscale. Current research interests within the groups include include quantum simulation using condensates in solid state systems, cavity QED with two-dimensional semiconductors, controlling transport and energetics in organic molecules through strong light-matter coupling, and engineered nonlinear optical materials.
