What is Photonics Research ? : video

Goëry Genty (Professor, Head of the research group)

I am leading the Ultrafast Photonics Group that carries out experimental, numerical, and theoretical research on ultrafast photonics and applications including:

  • Ultrafast light sources with tailored properties and supercontinuum generation
  • Fiber-optics and nonlinear instabilities
  • Ultrafast laser dynamics, real-time characterization techniques and coherence measurements
  • Ultrafast imaging and sensing
  • Machine learning applications to laser design, light diagnosis, and control of nonlinear dynamics

Our research finds applications in understanding of fundamental light-matter interactions, nonlinear science as well as in the development of novel sensing and imaging approaches. Our group is always happy to collaborate and looking for talented people. Do not hesitate to contact us!

Postdoctoral Reasearcher

Zahra Eslami

My research deals with high-power multimode supercontinuum sources in the mid-infrared range and structured light. I design, construct, and characterize multi-Watt level supercontinuum sources operating in the mid-IR using various multimode soft glass fibers and different pump sources. The source can be utilized for high-resolution short-range LIDAR and bio-imaging.Zahra

PhD Students

Julián Laverde

I will work in nonlinear photonic integrated circuits, advancing research at the intersection of nonlinear optics and integrated photonics.

Huimin Liu

I am working on the output light optimization of nonlinear fibers by using algorithms and optics computing. The ultimate goal is to generate light with characteristics tailored to particular applications in e.g. precision metrology, or high-resolution imaging and sensing.

Jiaqi Li

I am working on a novel ultrafast imaging technique in the infrared that combines spatial and spectral ghost imaging with parametric conversion. My research work is involved coherence control, time-stretching, distributed Raman amplification, as well as up-conversion.

Ekaterina Krutova

I study ultrafast nonlinear phenomena in graded-index multimode soft glass fibers in the normal and anomalous short pulse regimes for the development of ultrabroadband light sources with high spectral density and beam quality applicable in absorption spectroscopy and molecular fingerprinting.
