Optical Fibers and Signal Processing (FOPS, 2009-2013) (Ref.: PROMETEO/2009/077, http://www.uv.es/fops)

The Optical fibers and Signal Processing Group results from several years of collaboration between researchers of the University of Valencia belonging to the Instituto de Ciencia de los Materiales and the Optics Department.

The researchers of the group are divided in three sections:

• The Optical fibers Laboratory (LFO)
• The Diffractive Optics Group and (DiOG)
• The Difraction and 3D Imaging Laboratory (3D I&D)

The research activity is focused on:

• the fabrication of photonic crystal fibers and optical fiber components for laser applications, new optical fiber light sources, sensors and microwave photonics,
• the modelling and designing of microstructured optical fibers and photonic devices and
• the 3D imaging systems and high resolution scanning microscopy.
