Research Interests
Prof. Omenetto's research is heavily focused on
interdisciplinary themes that span nonlinear optics,
nanostructured materials (such as photonic crystals and
photonic crystal fibers), optofluidics and biopolymer based
photonics. The laboratory has pioneered the use of silk as a
material platform for photonics, optoelectronics and
high-technology applications and is actively investigating
novel applications that rely on this new technology base.
The laboratory leverages tools and methods based on tunable
femtosecond optical pulses (such as 2D and 3D micromachining
of organic and inorganic materials) , and carries out research
on new fiber-based and nanostructured based devices (such as
photonic-crystals, nanoplasmonics, and photonic crystal fibers)
for the development of new approaches for biological sensing and
imaging.
