The photonics research encompasses development of photonic materials,
structures and devices for optical communications and sensors. Main
research directions in guided-wave photonics include research and
development of active as well as passive fiber and planar waveguide
components for optical communications, and development of special
structures for optical sensors. Material research for fiber optics
focuses on development of methodological approaches based on the MCVD
and sol-gel methods and their application for the fabrication of special
optical fibers. The diffractive optics research concentrates on
theoretical analysis, development and characterization of holographic
diffractive structures for beam shaping, imaging and sensing Optical
sensor research is focused on evanescent-wave fiber optic sensors for
detection of chemicals and surface plasmon resonance sensors for
detection of biological substances and analysis of biomolecules and
their interactions.
