This is critical for the discovery and development of new and improved optoelectronic technologies. 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). Planar Waveguide and Slab Lasers We specialise in developing novel photonic materials, waveguide devices, and laser systems for application in remote sensing, defence, manufacturing, and metrology.
