As part of the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), we also actively pursue interdisciplinary research in collaboration with different labs from the industry, governmental organizations, and universities; domestically and internationally.
OCT is an imaging technique that uses coherent light to capture micrometer-resolution, used for medical imaging and industrial nondestructive testing.
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a technology for detecting the distance. It can be applied for the auto driving car and 3D imaging.
Optical devices using nano-carbon (carbon nanotubes and graphene), fiber lasers and amplifiers, nonlinear optics, photonics, optoelectronics.
Achieve mode-locking of rare-earth-doped fiber laser at 2 μm by using graphene or single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Chip Cavity Mode-Locked by using the graphene covered chip (intra-cavity patterned graphene on SiN Waveguides)
Recent news and activities at Yamashita-Set Lab. Discover our laboratory, research works, conference presentations, papers and all the fun things that we do. We work hard and we play hard.
In this January, we attended SPIE Photonics West Exhibition held in San Francisco, California. Our doctroal student Takaki Kiyozumi delivered an invited talk on long-range distributed sensing for optical fiber networks safety monirtoring.
We met a lot friends and collaborators there! What a happy time!
Maolin Dai, a Ph.D. student in the Yamashita–Set Laboratory, has been awarded the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad.
Prof. Yamashita, Prof. Set and Mr. Dai attended the award ceremony held at the Embassy of China in Japan. Prof. Yamashita delivered a speech as the representative supervisor.
We sincerely congratulate Maolin on this achievement and thank Prof. Yamashita and Prof. Set for the guidance and supervision.
We held an alumni gathering on December 7, 2025, with many graduates joining the event. During the gathering, we celebrated Prof. Yamashita’s 60th birthday and enjoyed a warm and memorable time together.
We sincerely appreciate everyone’s participation and would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to Prof. Yamashita for his continued guidance and contributions to the laboratory.
We have provided you with a list of helpful links to help you find information that interests you.
