Microstructured optical fibre metadevices
The age of optical communications has been enabled by two key materials and technology breakthroughs: low loss silica optical fibre waveguides and semiconductor based optoelectronics ranging from solid state lasers to modulators and detectors on plan...
Improving patient outcomes with cochlear implants through the application of data science (AudiLog).
Deafness in early and later life has high health and economic costs (£26Bn/annum in the UK) and reduced life chances. Cochlear implants are a cost-effective solution, but low referral rates mean relatively poor penetration (<6%) and adoption of th...
EPSRC - Modelling of Glass Microsphere Assembly in a Capillary Flow Cell for Photonic Circuit Fabrication
Under this grant we propose to develop and validate numerical/mathematical models of the receding fluid edge in a thin tilted flow cell suitable for self-assembly of heavy particles onto waveguide substrates (useful for placement of glass spheres for...
Integrated Microsphere Planar Lightwave Circuits
Planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) offer a rugged, low-cost, mass-manufacturable route to the device requirements of future telecommunications systems. Barriers to full exploitation of conventional PLC technologies include the longh path lengths requir...
