Philip RUSSELL教授分享光子晶體光纖的研究和應用

中國杭州羅素先進光波科學中心科學主任Philip RUSSELL教授，於2024年11月5日於香港理工大學（理大）校園主講理大高等研究院第30場傑出講座，講題為「30年的光子晶體光纖科研旅程」。是次講座吸引了逾80名參加者到場參與，以及超過12,500人次於世界各地透過嗶哩嗶哩、微信、微博及YouTube多個社交媒體平台觀看直播。   講座首先由理大高等研究院院長陳清焰教授致歡迎辭及介紹講者。隨後為演講環節，Russell教授首先簡單概述了光子晶體光纖（PCF）的發展歷程，強調了光纖、布拉格衍射、光子帶隙和拉斯塔的進步為PCF方面的突破奠定了基礎。Russell教授表示，他於1991年提出了一種沿其長度具有規律排列的微通道板的玻璃纖維，或許能以新穎的方式引導光，而在隨後的年份，PCF先後於大學的拉斯塔誕生。接著，他詳細闡述了PCF的好處，解釋它如何增強對傳播光的控制，以及該特性如何帶來實際應用。他分享了他在實芯PCF、空芯PCF和螺旋扭曲PCF方面的研究，回顧了PCF實現的一些科學發現如何發展成實際應用。   講座的問答環節由光纖光學講座教授兼光子技術研究院院長呂超教授主持。一眾現場觀眾與Russell教授進行了富有成效的討論和交流。
