Overview of the research topics
(1)   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is attracting attention as a new method for photographing three-dimensional tomographic images of organisms and matter which are optically translucent. In particular, there is expectation that the method can be applied to new medical diagnostic devices. The division researches and develops this new OCT method and seeks application to medical diagnostic devices in the future.
(2)   Terahertz waves are electromagnetic waves that have frequencies between those of light and radio waves. Terahertz waves pass through various materials and are safe for the human body. These signals can interact with biological materials through their oscillation modes on a cellular or molecular level. The division conducts research and development for measurement technology which uses these electromagnetic waves, and seeks to apply the technology to new medical diagnostic technology.
(3)   A molecule associated with ionization and dissociation is a realistic dynamical system of fundamental few-body problem. Dynamical problems of such excited molecule are theoretically studied mainly by the scattering theory. This study also develops fundamental atomic data, which are utilized for the relevant scientific fields as the plasma physics.
