Surface plasmon theory & applications
Light in systems containing metallic elements can result in surprising effects.
Supercontinuum generation
Broadband coherent light is generated by short laser pulses and nonlinear effects in a material.

 

The Vision of CUDOS
To develop the experimental and theoretical expertise to design and build linear and nonlinear all-optical signal processing devices, and to miniaturize these, leading to a "photonic chip" believed to be the building blocks for the next generation of optical systems...

Journal publications
The CUDOS@USyd journal publication list is available by year since 2003, the commencement of the CUDOS centre.

CUDOS MOF utilities
The CUDOS MOF Utilities are a software package for simulating microstructured optical fibres (or MOFs, also known as photonic crystal fibres or holey fibres) using the multipole method.
