This newsletter contains details of the 2008 REG Annual General Meeting on April 2nd, (registration required – refer to newsletter) which includes a presentation:
Photonics – New Applications of Optical Fibres
by Professor Tanya Monro, Chair of Photonics , and Director of the DSTO Centre of Expertise in Photonics within the School of Chemistry & Physics at the University of Adelaide
Abstract:
New classes of optical fibres are rapidly emerging that allow fibres to be used well beyond their established role in data transmission. These developments have been enabled by research in a diverse range of areas including physics, materials science, engineering and fluid mechanics. An overview of the newly established Centre of Expertise in Photonics will be presented, and recent progress in a range of areas including new transmission fibres, highly nonlinear fibres, chemical and biological sensing with new fibres and novel fibre lasers will be reviewed.
A short tour of the laboratories will be given.
