Optics Letters – Editor’s Pick

We are pleased to announce that work by lab member Yifan Ma, Prof. Set and Prof. Yamashita has been recognized with an ‘Editor’s Pick’ in Optics Letters.

Please check out the article, “Flat visible spectrum by a genetic algorithm optimized photonic crystal fiber in the GHz comb spacing” here

Congratulations New Graduates

The Yamashita-Set lab would like to extend its congratulations to our two most recent graduates Doctor Xiangnan Sun and Masters student Ruiyan Chen.

We wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.

Student Gathering with Dr. Donna Strickland

On the 7th of March members of Yamashita-Set Lab attended a talk and Q and A session given by 2018 Nobel Laureate Dr. Donna Strickland. The event was hosted by the University of Electro-Communications Optica student chapter. We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet such a distinguished researcher and thank both Dr. Strickland and the UEC Optica chapter for making this event possible.

Visit to Kyoto

Assoc. Prof. Set Sze Yun and doctoral student Naoki Yamaguchi visited the head office of SCREEN Holdings in Kyoto, where Prof. Set gave an invited talk. They also visited Noda Lab at Kyoto University.
