Glass Studio

Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) and microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) made from soft glasses have attracted much interest. Advanced fiber drawing techniques have been developed over the last few years and enable us to bring novel soft-glass fiber structures for a range of different applications.

The physics of SC generation, having been studied for more than four decades, is now well understood. Detailed studies of nonlinear dynamics in optical fibers have led to several breakthroughs in extending and improving the quality of SC light sources. Read more...

Glass melting is one of the most common activities at the glass studio. During the last few years, we have developed the skills and facilities necessary to prepare high-quality optical glasses with various compositions, such as lead-silicate, tellurite, phosphate and germanate. Read more...
