OPTICAL PROBING & MANIPULATION GROUP

Our research aims to utilize state-of-the-art experimental techniques from the atomic, molecular and optical physics (AMOP) realm to help solve complex problems of the aerospace engineering discipline. We make use of advanced, non-linear laser diagnostic techniques such as coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering to characterize gas and plasma flows; optical tweezers (0.5 Nobel Prize in Physics 2019) to isolate and study particles; advanced optomechanical sensors for aerospace metrology.
