RESEARCH INTERESTS AND COLLABORATORS

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

My main focus is currently on Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) and Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibers (MPOFs). In particular:

• Supercontinuum generation in PCFs and MPOFs - development of broadband light sources
• Liquid crystal infiltrated PCFs and MPOFs to achieve switching and study nonlinear effects
• Poled quadratic nonlinear PCFs and MPOFs for effective wavelength conversion
• Label-free biosensing with PCFs and MPOFs

• Materials with a nonlocal nonlinear response.
• chi(2) materials and cascading
• Coherent and incoherent spatial solitons and modulational instability
• Soliton interaction
• The collapse effect - self-focusing
• Quasi-phase-matching (QPM)
• Engineering the properties of chi(2) materials through modulated QPM gratings.
