Our research focuses on the development of new imaging modalities for multimodal nonlinear microscopy. Currently we employ second harmonic generation, third harmonic generation and multiphoton excitation fluorescence contrast mechanisms, which are generated simultaneously after femtosecond pulse excitation. Our microscopes are tailored to image non-invasively live cells and subcellular organelles. We investigate intracellular dynamics in photosynthetic systems, research contractility mechanisms in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells, and study structural organization of cancerous tissue.

Our research group studies and develops novel laser processing technology for defining photonic devices, optical circuits, microfluidic and other nanostructures. The laser enables fabrication in novel two- and three-dimensional architectures to be explored in optical materials for broad impact in today’s optical communication networks and lab-on-a-chip microsystems.

Research Areas: Fibre Optics, Quantum Optics
Webpage: ece.utoronto.ca/people/qian-l
We specialize in research in quantum photonics, fiber optics and metrology. In quantum photonics, we develop fiber-based high-quality entangled and hyper-entangled photon sources and quantum communication systems. In addition, we exploit quantum and classical photonic techniques (mostly fiber-based) for novel sensing and metrology applications.

My research is on display holography. This involves producing holographic images from either real-world objects or from computer-generated 3D graphics. My teaching also includes the social aspects of the work of scientists, the responsibilities of scientists to the rest of society, entrepreneurship, and the techniques that makes science researchers more effective in their work.
