The Caldwell Infrared Nanophotonic Materials and Devices Laboratory seeks to understand chemical and physical interactions within nanoscale to atomic-scale materials and how such interactions are mediated by such length scales. We employ a variety of infrared spectroscopic tools with length scales ranging from 10-nm to cms, and time scales ranging from 100-fs to seconds to achieve these goals.
