Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
High-power high-repetition-rate ultrafast lasers enable the new technique of femtosecound direct optical writing for patterning waveguides and gratings in three dimensions, to provide entirely new functionalities. Three-dimensional photonic structures will allow dramatic increases in the scale of integration of future optical communication and information processing. They also open tantalising possibilities I the fields of integrated optics, all solid-state lasers, optical amplifiers and switches. As yet effort in this area worldwide is small but accelerating rapidly, ensuring a window for our research to have high impact. This proposal will explore the ultrafast physics of femtosecond photosensitivity and optimise the direct write of 3D photonic structures.
