Most important scientific contributions
- Experimental demonstration of discrete solitons and their dynamical properties: Opened up one of the most prolific fields of research in nonlinear dynamics and nonlinear integrated optics of the last decade.
- Demonstration of Anderson Localisations and band gap structures in waveguide arrays: Leading to a new generation of “affordable” Meta material-like structures.
- Kerr spatio-temporal solitons in a planar glass waveguide (light bullets) and liquid crystals, X waves in bi-dispersive media, self-accelerating non-diffractive beams
- Ultrafast, extremely low power nonlinear optics in glass and semiconductor integrated waveguides
- Pioneer in the field of nonlinear optics in the THz Regime: A state of the art high power THz source to probe the nonlinear interaction of intense few-cycle terahertz pulses, demonstration of nonlinear wavelength conversion using THz waves, opening the door to new THz characterization techniques, and the demonstration of the first THz Optical Isolator.
