Research | Current

Current work in my laboratory revolves around the nonlinear interactions of light in glass fibers. Research topics includes:

the generation of dispersive waves
cascaded four wave mixing
temporal cavity solitons
nonlinear Bragg scattering
widely tunable fiber parametric oscillators
the interplay of Kerr and Raman nonlinearities in fiber parametric amplifiers
incoherently pumped parametric amplifiers
high performance OCT sources,
and much much more ...
