Laboratory
for Electro-Optical Materials (EMAL)
The laboratory for Electro-Optical Materials (EMAL) is focused
on the development of nonlinear optical, photorefractive, and
photoresponsive materials. The research interest of the Center
includes highly thermally stable second-order nonlinear optical
chromophores and materials for electro-optical device applications,
fully functionalized photorefractive materials for memory device
applications, photochromic materials for optical switch applications,
and fluorescence dyes for sensor applications as well as dye
sensitizers for optoelectrical applications. The goal is to develop
materials that exhibit superior properties that can be utilized
in device fabrication.
Representative
current projects include the following:
- Bifunctional
and Multiple Functional Molecules for Photorefractive Materials
- Chiral Catalysts
for Ferroelectric Materials and Pharmaceutical Applications
- Dye Sensitizers
for Nanoparticle Composites
- Highly Fluorescent
Dyes for Heavy Metal Detection
- Molecular
