Kim's Research group at KU

Our group focuses on the development of novel optical devices including IoT sensors, metamaterials, solar energy harvesting and other silicon based nanophotonic devices. Our group receives Best Laboratory Award in 2022 Photonic Conference. Prof Kim receives Seoktop Teaching Award for Electrophysics course. Prof. Kim's collaborative work on metasurface is published in Science. Prof. Kim receives Seoktop Teaching Award for Electromagnetics course. Prof. Kim gave a talk about semiconductor metasurface design at OSK Winter Conference. Prof. Kim gave a talk about nanostructured films for solar energy at Photonics Conference (OSK). Prof. Kim's Optoelectronics and Nanophotonics Group opens at KU. Prof. Kim's work on Quantum Plasmonic Resonance is published in Nature Nanotechnology. We are developing novel optical devices for next generation photodetectors, image sensors, nano-spectrometer. To realize this, we also focus on the understanding of the resonant effect of metal & semiconductor nanostructures and device design. We are designing nano-scaled photonic devices including photodetectors, waveguides, modulators and light emitting devices for the integrated silicon photonics and optical interconnect. We are pursuing new technologies for the next generation display, solar energy harvesting, which feature ultrathin, small pixel sized with cheap fabrication process. We are designing optical nano-antenna for the unprecedented control of light and electromagnetic waves. We also target to apply it to develop ultrathin & flexible lens, display (hologram) and beam steerer through the active control of the polarization and wavefronts of light.
