Photonics and Nano Devices Research at UW ECE includes quantum electronics, nanoscale optics, novel photon sources, and optical metamaterials, with applications in quantum science, imaging, biomedical sensing, and other areas. Our faculty work closely with colleagues in the Department of Physics and several faculty hold joint and secondary appointments in Physics.“Many ECE faculty are members of the Institute for Nano-Engineered Systems (NanoES), a NSF National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) node that hosts the Washington Nanofabrication Facility (WNF) to support academic institutions and companies throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond in designing and fabricating nanoscale materials, structures, devices and systems.

A team led by scientists at the University of Washington has designed and tested a 3D-printed metamaterial that can manipulate light with nanoscale precision.
Dr. Lin has been awarded an Optical Society of America (OSA) Fellowship for the significant technical achievements and contributions she has made in the field of photonics.
“The technological and societal impact of the upcoming quantum revolution is going to be enormous."
"Differences in self-efficacy among women and minorities in STEM" among most downloaded in journal.
The Washington Research Foundation has recognized Arka Majumdar's work in nanophotonic technologies.
Lenses are as thin as 190 nanometers — less than 1/100,000ths of an inch thick
