Current research
Professor Peacock’s research aims to develop elegant nonlinear semiconductor photonic devices fabricated from both conventional waveguides on-chip as well as those based on an emerging platform that incorporates the semiconductor materials directly into the cores of optical fibres. In particular, the semiconductor fibre platform opens a route to seamlessly link semiconductor technologies with the silica fibre infrastructures that are used to transmit light around the globe – one of the most important design challenges in the field.
