Research Interests
I am Leader of the Atomic Coherence Project in the Centre for Atom Optics and Ultrafast Spectroscopy
at SUT. My research interests focus on coherent effects in atomic media, such as
low-intensity nonlinearity, frequency up conversion, slow and fast light, light storage,
which are important not only for new optical field generation and possible applications
for information processing but also for secure and higher-speed all-optical networks.
