Professor James G. Fujimoto is a principal investigator in the Optics and Devices Group of the Research Laboratory of Electronics. Professor Fujimoto's group performs research in ultrafast lasers and ultrafast phenomena as well as in biomedical optical imaging. Development of novel laser designs for compact short pulse systems and dispersion compensation. Investigation and fabrication of nonlinear saturable absorbers based on multiple quantum wells and nonlinear semiconductor doped glasses for short pulse generation using passive modelocking and saturable absorber assisted KLM lasers. Investigation of laser fabrication of waveguide photonics devices.
Research includes development of imaging technologies and clinical applications.
Technology development includes high resolution, spectroscopic imaging, development of imaging devices such as catheter or endoscope based systems. Biomedical studies include clinical investigations of ophthalmic applications in collaboration with the New England Eye Center. Studies of optical biopsy in internal medicine including arterial imaging, diagnosis of neoplasia, and surgical guidance in collaboration with investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women s Hospital, and the National Cancer Institute.
