About us
The Fiber Optics Group (GOŚ), consisting of 9 full-time employees and 6 PhD students, conducts experimental and simulation research on the properties of special optical fibers (silica and polymer) and their applications in the sensor systems, telecommunications and nonlinear optics. The Group has experience in the characterization of conventional and microstructured optical fibers as well as waveguides and planar structures, including measurements of: birefringence, chromatic dispersion, polarization dispersion, polarization crosstalks, transmission and bending losses, polarization losses and fiber sensitivity to selected external factors.
The Group also designs photonic optical fibers and integrated optic systems with unique transmission, metrological and non-linear properties. Moreover, the Group deals with the production of long-period fiber gratings (in silica and polymer optical fibers) as well as Bragg gratings (in polymeric optical fibers) for metrological applications. The Group also develops laser measurement systems, in particular, those for selective gas detection using spectroscopic methods, also in a remote configuration (e.g. for detecting gas leaks from a safe distance) and designs and characterizes unique lighting systems.
Over the past 10 years, the Group has carried out research projects for the amount of over 15 million PLN and has published over 70 articles on fiber optics.
