Progress Further progress has been made on novel theoretical concepts for all-optical switching and spatial solitons.
Interest is in controlling the stop-band using optical nonlinearity.
The Centre's research involved the study of the effect of the quadratic nonlinear response on the transmission properties of such crystals due to the nonlinear localised photonic modes. The team will focus on forward-looking projects with possible technological relevance to the Centre such as nonlinear photonic crystals.
