The Chemical Spectroscopy Lab at the Chuo University.

Welcome to Chemical Spectroscopy Lab at Chuo University!
We develop new spectroscopic techniques using LASER, investigate the reaction processes in a microreactor.
Also we studies photochemical processes in photocatalytic reactions, sensitized solar cells, and photoresponsive liquid crystals, photopolymers, etc.
