The project includes excellent basic science, semiconductor device fabrication and applied mathematics with explicitly identified consequences for innovation. There is strong potential for national economic benefits through the manufacture of new integrated photonic devices, the application of these devices in secure communication systems, the research of advanced non-linear analysis protocols, and the implementation of these in financial transaction analysis. Professional development and research education of postgraduate students and early career researchers will be carried out in a multi-disciplinary research environment with ongoing uptake of the research in industry and commercial sectors.Read moreRead less
Exploding solitons. This project builds on previous work in which the existence of exploding solitons was confirmed. Explosions occur regularly in a variety of systems with continuous supply and dissipation of energy. Exploding solitons are more common than ordinary dissipative solitons and occupy large areas in the parameter space. They can be generated relatively easily, however the phenomenon is highly complex. This project aims to further understand exploding solitons so that the phenomeno ....Exploding solitons. This project builds on previous work in which the existence of exploding solitons was confirmed. Explosions occur regularly in a variety of systems with continuous supply and dissipation of energy. Exploding solitons are more common than ordinary dissipative solitons and occupy large areas in the parameter space. They can be generated relatively easily, however the phenomenon is highly complex. This project aims to further understand exploding solitons so that the phenomenon can be used for the generation of pulses with wide spectral output similar to `supercontinuum’ radiation. Research in this direction will provide the basis for building powerful laser sources with wide spectral output.Read moreRead less
