Computational Nonlinear Optics

We develop theoretical models and computer simulations for a wide range of photonics systems, such as optical fibres, integrated waveguides, and quantum technology.

Optical Engineering and Quantum Photonics Group

Led by Professor Peter Smith, our group specialises in the development and manufacture of novel optoelectronic devices for applications in quantum technology, integrated optical sensors and laser optics. 

Photonic Systems, Circuits and Sensors Group

Our group’s research in photonics is helping the development of critical global technologies.

Quantum, Light and Matter Group

Studying nanoscale properties of matter and the applications in nanoscience and quantam technology.
