Design and modeling of advanced optical fibers
Our research focuses on the design and numerical modeling of next-generation optical fibers with tailored microstructures for enhanced light confinement, dispersion control, and nonlinear performance. By combining computational simulations with theoretical analysis, we develop innovative fiber geometries to enable breakthroughs in sensing, communications, and high-power laser applications.
Advanced fiber characterization & fabrication
Optical fiber fabrication involves the precise creation of glass fibers that guide light with minimal loss. Using advanced techniques such as chemical vapor deposition and fiber drawing, high-purity silica preforms are heated and stretched into thin, flexible fibers that form the backbone of modern communication, sensing, and photonic technologies.
Develop smart, low-cost and energy-efficient fiber sensors
We focus on the modeling and fabrication of low-cost, energy-efficient fiber sensors designed for precise and scalable sensing applications. By combining advanced optical simulations with innovative fabrication techniques, our work aims to create sustainable fiber-based solutions for environmental, biomedical, industrial, and critical green-house gas emission monitoring.
Investigate extreme light-matter interactions
We investigate extreme light–matter interactions in hollow-core fibers, where intense laser fields interact with gases or plasmas confined within microscopic channels. Our research explores new regimes of nonlinear optics, and ultrafast light control, advancing the frontiers of photonics and attosecond science.
