Kats Group HomeResearch HighlightsPublicationsPeople Apply/Contact KATS RESEARCH GROUP Our research group, led by Prof. Mikhail Kats in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, engages in experimental and theoretical exploration of topics across the fields of optics and photonics, device physics, nanoscale science and quantum technologies. The primary goals of the group are to investigate fundamental problems in optics and photonics and to create next generation optical components to emit, modulate, and detect light across the visible and infrared spectral ranges. Research Highlight: Infrared polarizer based on direct coupling to surface plasmon polaritons Research Highlight: Adjoint-optimized nanoscale light extractor for nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond Research Highlight: Nanosecond mid-infrared pulse generation via modulated thermal emissivity Research Highlight: Temperature-independent thermal radiation Meet our group!
