Xinglin Zeng, a postdoc in Birgit Stiller's group at our institute, has recently reported the first observation of stimulated Brillouin scattering in the "twisted space" of chiral photonic crystal fibre (PCF). Drawn from a spinning preform, chiral PCF consists of a multi-helix of hollow channels…

After the successful virtual Wombat 2021 Workshop in June 2021 with about 200 participants, we are looking forward to the 4^th international Workshop on Optomechanics and Brillouin scattering: Fundamentals, Applications and Technology (WOMBAT) at the Max-Planck Institute for the Science of Light in…

We report first results on “Stimulated Brillouin scattering in chiral photonic crystal fibers”!

Abstract:
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has many…

The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) Physics of Light has successfully launched an event for PhD students at the Erlanger MPI.

Congratulations to Xinglin Zeng whose conference contribution got accepted as a postdeadline paper at Frontiers in Optics + Laser Science 2021!

„Optical Vortex Brillouin Laser in Chiral Photonic Crystal Fiber”
