Canada Research Chair in the Theory, Manufacturing and Applications of Photonic Crystals
The objective of the Chair is to speed up the maturation of the photonic crystal technology and its penetration into the industrial sector by perfecting the manufacturing process and development of imperfection tolerant designs.
The research is exploring the possibilities of ultra low loss/nonlinearity fibres and highly integrated planar devices for telecommunications and studying the use of high power delivery fibres at almost any wavelength for medicine and industry.
