Aims of the collaboration
To develop further research by extending the theory of self-phasing to ultrafast lasers:
To enhance research collaboration between both institutions in areas of mutual interest.
To transfer knowledge to the wider research community through lectures and outreach activities.
- To make accurate measurements of ultrafast self-phasing behaviour between fibre laser cores
- To elucidate the underlying physics of spectral stitching and identify the potential and limitations of the technique
- To apply newly discovered mechanisms to novel high-power ultrafast laser systems
