Ultrafast laser direct writing of multiwavelength waveguide lasers
Supervisors: Mick Withford and Graham Marshall
Our group has developed a state of the art femtosecond laser-direct write processing facility that enables the fabrication of both waveguides and reflective structures (gratings) inside a range of passive and active glasses. This project will investigate both fibre and planar (written with the aforementioned facility) waveguide amplifiers, and develop processing strategies for integrating gratings within waveguide amplifiers. The end goal will be the realization of single and multi-wavelength waveguide lasers for defense and biophotonic applications.
