Abstract:
Since their first publication in 2003, optical microfibres have attracted an increasing interest because of the wealth of possible applications and ease of manufacture. This talk will discuss the optical microfibres properties and the applications developed in Southampton, ranging from a variety of sensors (current, refractometric, temperature, biological concentration, acoustic) and devices (mode filtering, mode selection, resonators, polarization controllers) to novel architectures for lasers.
Bio:
Gilberto Brambilla is the director of the Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Photonics and a Principal Research Fellow at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (university of Southampton), where he has been employed as a researcher since 2002. He obtained his MSc in Engineering (Nuclear Materials) cum laude at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) in 1996 and his PhD in Optoelectronics at the Optoelectronics Research Centre in 2002. Over the last twelve years he worked on a number of industry sponsored project, including the development of combiners for high power fibre lasers and light generation in Ce doped pure silica fibres. In 2007 he was awarded a prestigious Royal Society University Research Fellowship, which was then extended in 2012. He currently leads a group working on fiberized components, in particular on optical fibre micro and nanowires. Gilberto Brambilla published more than 240 papers in journals and international conferences, has given ~30 invited talks/seminars over five continents, he authored 3 patents and half a dozen book chapters.
