Silica Fibre Fabrication

Rare-earth doped silica fibre fabrication using vapor phase deposition technique

We conduct fundamental and applied research in the field of optical fibre technology covering materials science, new fibre designs and fabrication techniques required for high-power lasers, generation of new wavelengths, sensing, and telecommunications.

Part of Photonics and optoelectronics

The Silica Fibre Fabrication group, led by Professor Jayanta Sahu, focuses on the research of novel silica-based fibres and the methods used to fabricate them. We strive to create the most advanced fibres for each photonics application, while simultaneously developing the next-generation of fibre fabrication techniques.
