Microstructure fibers, a photonic playground
Microstructured fibers offer a versatile photonic platform, enabling both quantum state generation and manipulation as well as precise optical trapping of nanoparticles. We'll present recent advances in specialty fibers, highlighting their broad potential in photonics.
About the Speaker
Nicolas Joly received his PhD in Physics from the University of Lille in France in 2002. He spent 3-years as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Bath, UK, where he developed photonic crystal fibers for nonlinear optics applications. After returning to Lille as a maître de conférences, he was appointed Professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, in 2009.
Since 2021, he has also led an independent research group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, specializing in microstructured optical fibers and their applications in nonlinear and quantum optics. A Fellow of Optica, he has also served as an editor of Optics Express since 2022.
