The Fibre-Optics Research Group has established reputable
research programmes in the field of photonics. Specifically, the
focus is on fibreoptics components, optical communications and
fibre-optics sensors. The Group consists of 5 academic staff and
about 10 other researchers. The main research interests are
fibre gratings, photonics crystal fibres, polymer waveguides,
gas sensing, structural monitoring, optical amplifiers, optical
signal processing, DWDM systems and monitoring of DWDM signals.
The Group also has strong collaboration with many research
groups both locally and internationally. It also enjoys good
industrial support to explore new applications such as fbre-optics
sensors in inventory management for the oil-industry,
temperature and strain measurements of the Tsing Ma Bridge. Last
year, the Group received about HK$4 million worth of optical
equipment from a local photonics company.
The Fibre-Optics Research Laboratories house many specialist
equipment and facilities such as a 10 Gbps DWDM test-bed for
studying high-speed communications, one excimer laser for the
fabrication of fibre gratings for communications and sensing
applications. The total value of the optical equipment and
components housed in the fibre-optics laboratories is about
HK$15 millions.
Funding of the Fibre-Optics Research Group is mostly from the
Hong Kong SAR Government Research Grant Council. Hitherto, the
Group has 7 successful CERG applications. In the last 2 years,
the Group has received about HK$ 1.5 millions from collaborative
research projects with overseas companies and about HK$ 1
million from consultancies. The total research funding received
by the Group in the last 3 years is over HK$ 10 millions. The
Group has also published over 100 international journal papers
in the same period.
