New paper 📝! In deep-UV AR-HCFs we found a reversible attenuation effect... like solarization, but temporary. We call it “pseudo-solarization.” doi.org/10.1364/OE.5... #research #photonics

Ran 10k this weekend with my sisters in memory of our Nan💙
Was special (and chaotic) doing it together — one sister ran with a broken elbow, the other with a broken toe 😅 We’ve raised £1.5k for the hospice. We’re really grateful for all the donations, thanks!

Happy to share our work published in Nature Photonics: "Threading light through dynamic complex media". We show how to pilot beams of light through the most stable channels within moving scattering media. Special thanks to Chai, Christina & John from the Structured Light Group, Exeter! #Photonics💡

"U-care" has published its latest study, led by Asta Valančiūtė, on bioRxiv.
They show that even low doses of far-UVC light (206 nm, 222 nm) can directly damage DNA in human lung epithelial cells.
Congrats to the team for their hard work:

Traditional multi-mode #optical fibres are straightforward, but the same is difficult to achieve in hollow core fibres. We report anti-resonant hollow core optical fibres guiding at least 50 spatial modes in the infrared (~5-fold improvement ). #science #photonics #research

New research in Optics Express📜! We linked unexpected UV loss in HCFs to gaseous chlorine. For transmission to recover, this needs to diffuse out. This has implications for current goals for long length, high yields of #fibreoptic HCF #Photonics doi.org/10.1364/OE.5...
