Our research encompasses areas allied fairly closely with physics and mathematics, such as the foundations of quantum mechanics and nonlinear optics such as solitons. It naturally includes areas deemed cutting-edge in photonics and electronics at the moment, such as digital optical communications, optical information processing, development of high-speed optical devices. It includes optical neural networks and chaos theory, and now even bio-electronics is a possibility: research on optical computing and architectures closely resembling the behavior of the human brain. These optoelectronics research areas may form the core of 21st-century scientific technology.

Our laboratory brings research topics to teams, chiefly of graduate students, that pursue long-term research that will serve as a platform for the field of fiber optics.
