Katayama Laboratory

Research

Here are some examples of our research topics! (under construction..)

Singleshot spectroscopy and terahertz oscilloscope

We are developing the experimental techniques to visualize terahertz and picosecond dynamics within a single laser shot.

Terahertz scanning tunneling microscopy

We combine scanning tunneling microscopes and terahertz technology to visualize the ultrafast phenomena at the nanoscales.

High harmonic generation in metals

We are investigating high harmonic generation in metals by shining infrared laser pulses to metallic materials.

Broadband terahertz and coherent phonon spectroscopy

We are investigating broadband terahertz dyanamics and coherent phonons in interesting materials using extremely short pulse lasers.
