Research project: Semiconductor Fibre Devices for Nonlinear Photonics
Semiconductor photonics is fast becoming one of the most active areas of research offering optoelectronic solutions for a wide range of applications not only in telecoms, but also in medicine, imaging, spectroscopy, and sensing. For example: ultra-fast all-fibre optical switches will reduce costs and improve efficiency of communications systems, whilst laser sources which operate in the mid infrared can be used for environmental sensing and medical applications.
