AKIYAMA Hidefumi

AKIYAMA Hidefumi is a faculty member in the Department of PHY at The University of Tokyo. His research focuses on laser and optical physics in semiconductors, with an emphasis on advanced laser micro-spectroscopy applied to semiconductor nano-structures. His work explores the optical properties of these materials quantum mechanically, including the physics of short-pulse generation from semiconductor lasers, solar cells, and bioluminescence. He also develops experimental techniques such as micro-spectroscopy and solid-immersion microscopy, which have been applied to study bioluminescence in organisms like fireflies. His research spans semiconductor lasers, quantum wires, and high-efficiency solar cells, with a focus on understanding fundamental physics that limits semiconductor and optical technologies.
