Salamanca, Gto., August 29, 2018.- The student of the University of Guanajuato (UG) Daniel Torres Gonzalez, will participate in the annual meeting of the American Society of Optics (OSA), presenting a poster of the experimental study of the generation of supercontinuum, a not linear phenomenon of the optics branch, with applications in telecommunications, automotive industry and manufacturing.
OSA Frontiers in Optics, is the annual meeting of the Scientific Society to be held from 16 to 20 September in Washington, USA where it was accepted the participation of the student of the ninth semester of Engineering in communications and electronics of the Campus Irapuato – Salamanca.
Previously the outstanding student sent a work in English for evaluation, which was accepted for the poster session, which consists of the experimental study of the generation of super continuous, which is obtained from a laser with the different combination of Lengths and diameters of optical fibers, generating different spectra.
A very interesting research with applications in telecommunications because having a wide spectrum, you can generate thousands of wavelengths and colors, which allows to send thousands or millions of data or information across the world.
Similarly, the study can be used in the sensing of pressure, temperature, or different physical parameters, such as curvature, which can be taken to the automotive and manufacturing industry in the country and abroad. Other possible applications that can give this light source, is the characterization of new materials.
The super continuous has applications in coherent optical metrology and spectroscopy, commented Daniel Torres, explaining that "a laser is a single wavelength, is a single color, in contrast to a super continuous are obtained many colors with the interaction of Linear and nonlinear phenomena, covering a very large range of wavelengths. "
This study was developed with the support of its professors, doctors Juan Manuel Sierra Hernández and Roberto Rojas Laguna, both from the Department of Electronic Engineering.
