Department of Photonics and Microwave Physics is one of the largest departments of Faculty of Physics of Lomonosov Moscow State University. It consists of more than 15 laboratories that hold both theoretical and experimental investigations on nonlinear optics, photonics, plasmonics, magnetooptics, optoelectronics, microwave electronics, electromagnetic waves propagation, spectroscopy, biophysics and other actual scientific areas. In 1989-2014 the department was headed by Prof. Anatoly Sukhorukov, one of the leading Russian scientists in nonlinear optics.
Our staff maintains cooperation with various institutions both in Russia and in other countries such as Belarus, Ukraine, Spain, Germany, USA, China, India, Australia, UK, and others, and with several companies as well. For example, in cooperation with Rhode&Schwartz company a laboratory on spectroscopy and multibeam wave propagation in urban media was founded.
Our department holds annual conference on wave phenomena in nonhomogeneous media, physics and applications of microwaves in May in Moscow suburb.
The principle investigations are held in the following areas:
Photonics and plasmonics: optical and magnetooptical properties of nanostructured materials, plasmonic structures, photonic crystals and magnetic nanostructures; propagation and interaction of wave beams (including those with phase dislocations), pulses and solitons in nonlinear media, nonhomogeneous media (in particular, in photonic crystals), in artificial media - metamaterials; dynamics of ultrashort pulses consisting of several field oscillations; properties of surface plasmon polariton waves; optoelectronics and acoustooptics.
