Laboratory of Fiber Optics

Head: Sergey A. Babin, Doctor of Sciences in Phys & Math, Corresponding Member of Russian Academy of Sciences

Main Directions of Research&Development

New generation regimes of fiber lasers:

• tunable parametric generation,
• continuous harmonics generation in poled fibers,
• generation of high-power femtosecond pulses (dissipative solitons) in fiber cavities.

Raman fiber lasers and amplifiers:

• mechanisms of spectral broadening and intensity fluctuations for laser output,
• optical turbulence,
• lasers with random distributed feedback based on Rayleigh scattering,
• ultra-long lasers and new optical fiber communication systems on their base.

Interaction of light with micro- and nanostructures in optical fibers:

• femtosecond modification and structuring of transparent optical materials,
• random 1D and 2D structures and their applications in lasers and sensors,
• fiber-integrated interferometers involving thin-film and 3D structures.

In the years 2014-2016 the laboratory staff works on the research grant of Russian Science Foundation № 14-22-00118 «Generation and nonlinear conversion of radiation in the scheme of Raman fiber laser with direct diode pumping of a high power". The main results are available here.

According to the decision of the Russian Science Foundation the project was prolonged as a successful one up to 2017-2018. The main results are available here.
