New paper 📝! In deep-UV AR-HCFs we found a reversible attenuation effect... like solarization, but temporary. We call it “pseudo-solarization.” doi.org/10.1364/OE.5... #research #photonics

🎉New paper! doi.org/10.1364/OE.5... 📝 We look at how different numbers of capillaries affect the guidance properties of hollow core fibres, enabling the guidance of ~ 50 modes in the near-infrared. Some cool fibres in here that guide the visible and ultraviolet #science #optics #photonics

Ran 10k this weekend with my sisters in memory of our Nan💙 Was special (and chaotic) doing it together — one sister ran with a broken elbow, the other with a broken toe 😅 We’ve raised £1.5k for the hospice. We’re really grateful for all the donations, thanks! 👉 fundraising.pwh.org.uk/fundraising/...

Happy to share our work published in Nature Photonics: "Threading light through dynamic complex media". We show how to pilot beams of light through the most stable channels within moving scattering media. Special thanks to Chai, Christina & John from the Structured Light Group, Exeter! #Photonics💡

"U-care" has published its latest study, led by Asta Valančiūtė, on bioRxiv. They show that even low doses of far-UVC light (206 nm, 222 nm) can directly damage DNA in human lung epithelial cells. Congrats to the team for their hard work: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello, just arrived on bsky! Looking for fellow optics researchers. To kick things off - here is our latest preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2501.14129 'Self-configuring high-speed multi-plane light conversion'. Lead author José Rocha prefers to go make a cup of tea rather than manually align his MPLC...

Traditional multi-mode #optical fibres are straightforward, but the same is difficult to achieve in hollow core fibres. We report anti-resonant hollow core optical fibres guiding at least 50 spatial modes in the infrared (~5-fold improvement ). #science #photonics #research arxiv.org/abs/2501.12996
Three hollow core fibres rendered in blender. They have a higher number of cladding elements, so offer more multi-mode capacity.

Plants play a LOT of clever tricks with light (beyond that little miracle that is photosynthesis). If the topic interest you, there is a #PhD position open to work on it with Dr. Rox Middleton (a very bright young researcher at @uniofbath.bsky.social) #PhDjobs botphot.com/wp-content/u...

New research in Optics Express📜! We linked unexpected UV loss in HCFs to gaseous chlorine. For transmission to recover, this needs to diffuse out. This has implications for current goals for long length, high yields of #fibreoptic HCF #Photonics doi.org/10.1364/OE.5...

New paper on multi-core hollow-core fibres! 🎉 We show a fibre with low inter-core coupling, achieving optical losses as low as 0.03 dB/m (620 nm) & 0.08 dB/m (1000 nm). Also Robbie’s 2nd first-author paper of his PhD! arxiv.org/abs/2409.14555 #photonics #fiberoptics #research
