Kalipada Chatterjee
I am an experimental physicist working on generation and applications of vortex beam for imaging and sensing. The goal of my research is to develop integrated systems for controlled generation and interaction of vortex beam with outside environment mediated by photons confined in an artificially engineered waveguide. This system can be used for realizing non-Gaussian beam matter interaction.
