Applied Optics
|
The Applied Optics group concentrates on producing pratical devices based on photonics research. There are presently a number of fields we work in including chemical
sensing, optical fibre reseach and microscopy.

Optical Fibre Sensors
Applied Optics is working on a number of sensor technologies including surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) chemical sensors, optical fibre based distributed temperature sensors and distibuted corrosion sensors. |

Optical Materials and Photorefractive Effects
Progress in photonics and optical telecommunications has benefited greatly from the development of new optical materials and the use of photoinduced structures in a range of active and passive devices. The Applied Optics group is interested in further development of these systems and applying them to a range of sensing applications. |

 |
Microscopy and Imaging
The Applied Optics group is also interested in developing novel methods for optical microscopy, imaging and non-contact inspection and their use in medical and industrial applications. |
