To clarify the mechanisms of the
appearance of the order and function in nonequilibirum and
biological systems, and contribute to the understanding of the
physical origin in the macroscopic representation of the
material properties.

Pattern Formation in
Nonequilibrium Systems |
| We study the mechanisms of order
and pattern formation processes under nonequilibrium
conditions by means of linear and nonlinear laser spectroscopy.
Particularly we try to investigate the physical mechanisms
of femtosecond pulse formation process in a mode-locked
laser, the instability in crystal growth, the pattern
formation in Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction, order
formation process in choresteric phase of liquid crystal,
ferroelastic domain formation and so on. We also clarify
the mechanism of structural color, which is produced
through the self-organization in nature. |

Laser Spectroscopy of
Fluctuation and Soft Mode |
| We investigate the dynamical
properties of disordered materials such as liquid,
glass and biopolymers, and also investigate the soft
mode behaviors in phase transitions by means of various
spectroscopic methods in frequency- and time-domains
such as Brillouin and Raman scattering spectroscopy,
and optical Kerr effect spectroscopy. We then clarify
how the cooperative phenomenon comes out in macroscopic
systems. |

Development of New Laser
Techniques and New Spectroscopy |
| We develop new laser spectroscopy
combining various frequency- and time-domain techniques.
Particularly, we study a newly developed frequency-domain
femtosecond four wave mixing technique. We apply it
to the measurement of the dynamics in various materials
and also to pulse diagnostic use. This method is suitable
to measure a short-lived species because the measurement
is completed within a few seconds and to cover a wide
frequency region using two-color pump pulses. We also
try to develop new laser spectroscopy, in which we
can freely control the phase, frequency, intensity,
and polarization of light pulses. |
