The research team from the Department of Optics and Photonics at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology is part of the Fiber Optics Group. The Group has the expertise and equipment necessary for the design and experimental characterization of optical fibers, as well as a variety of photonic and fiber-optic components and devices. An essential part of the team’s competencies includes modeling and numerical simulations of linear and nonlinear propagation properties of photonic components using advanced numerical tools. The models used have been developed and validated through long-term collaboration with technological groups in Poland and worldwide, as well as through extensive experimental expertise.

The Group is also engaged in developing technologies for structuring optical fibers and photonic components, including nano-structuring of fiber end-faces, fabrication of long-period fiber Bragg gratings, and deposition and subsequent structuring of metallic or dielectric layers on the surfaces of specialty optical fibers. In recent years, the Group’s interests have also extended to the design and experimental characterization of integrated optics components.
