Southampton Photonics Day 2007

A selection of the presentations can be downloaded from the list below.

Dr Jonathan Price (ORC): High power femto-second fibre lasers

Nano Talks are a fun and innovative way to present novel research ideas to the audience. These talks are intended to provide a forum for PhD Students to grab 120 seconds (and not one second more) of glory and impress the audience with their research marvels as well as gain experience in presenting their work. This year 17 research students from across the University took on the Nano Talk challenge and you can download a selection of the talks from the list below.

Chandrajit Basu: "Photodarkening in Yb-doped fibre lasers"

Rossana Gazia: "Towards cladding pumped crystal waveguide structures"
