The advanced material and sensors (photonics) division focuses on the state-of-the-art complete research and development solution for the major scientific, industrial and healthcare problems by using cutting edge optical technologies. We are developing and optimizing processes that use light as a main tool for different tasks. This division is engaged in advanced research on photonic crystal, fiber lasers, fiber optic sensors (surface Plasmon, evanescent wave, fluorescence, Interferometer), fibre Braggs grating based sensors for accelerometer, hydrophone, strain and temperature monitoring, metamaterial, seismic alert system, optical beam shaping and imaging, Nano-antenna, Nano optical tweezers and Laser based optoelectronic instrumentation for strategic applications. To carry out this research, the division has advanced facilities like FBG writing machine, Magnetron sputtering, surface plasmon detection unit, high resolution optical spectrum analyzers, spectrometers, high speed detectors, optical work benches etc, Furthermore, scientist of the division have interdisciplinary research background and experiences.
