DEPARTMENT DETAILS
Department of Guided-wave Photonics
Research is focused on theoretical and experimental study of optical fibre and
integrated-optic structures for optical communication, sensors and measurement.
It comprises research of both linear and nonlinear optical properties of silica
optical fibres and structures, active fibres doped by rare-earth ions, fibre
amplifiers and lasers employing stimulated emission as well as stimulated Raman
scattering, and microstructure fibres. Research in Integrated Optics is directed
toward theoretical analysis and characterisation of planar guided-wave structures
and subsystems, photonic crystal waveguides and microresonator-based devices.
Research teams of the Department of Guided-Wave Photonics tightly collaborate
with the Department of Optical Sensors on theoretical analysis and experimental
characterization of fibre- and surface-plasmon-based sensor structures and devices.
