Fibre Bragg Gratings

We design and fabricate passive and active periodic fibre devices, including fibre Bragg gratings, for a variety of applications in photonics.

High Power Fibre Lasers

The High Power Fibre Laser group, led by Professor Johan Nilsson, works on advanced fibre lasers for beam combination and sensing for lidar and net-zero aviation (pollution monitoring).

Smart Lasers and Special Fibres

Our research vision is to revolutionise manufacturing in the digital era by developing the next generation of ‘smart’ fibre laser tools for medical and biosciences sectors.
