His research interests include spin-coupled wave propagation phenomena in amorphous alloy and magnetic garnet thin films, including phase modulation of magneto-surface-acoustic-waves,control and phase modulation of optical waves, and control of high-frequency magnetostatic and spin waves, together with their applications in magneto-optical (MO) spatial light modulators, three-dimensional MO displays, non-destructive MO imaging, magnetic hologram recording, and spin-wave logic circuits.
Prof. Inoue has served as the director of Magnetics Society of Japan from 2013 to 2015 and as the general chair of the Magnetics and Optics Research International Symposium (MORIS, 2015 and 2018). He is currently the chair of the 147th Committee on Amorphous and Nano-Crystalline Materials of the University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). |
