Salamanca, Gto., June 16, 2016.- The International Workshop of Optical Fibers allowed professors and students from the Division of Engineering (DICIS) of the University of Guanajuato, to obtain a wide panorama in the use of lasers and optical fiber devices applied to different areas such as the optical sensing, optical communication, lasers, among others.

In two days, seven experts from different institutions of Mexico and foreign presented the breakthrough of their research, informed Dr. Julián Moisés Estudillo Ayala, researcher-professor of the Campus Irapuato-Salamanca of UG.

The workshop began with the participation of Dr. Joseph Haus from Dayton University, US., renowned researcher who presented the study about nanotechnology of Plasmon toward green energies, also presented numeric techniques applied to the optics.

Dr. Olivier Pottiez from the Center of Research in Optics A.C. (CIO), presented the recent progress of his group in the study of fiber lasers operating in non-stationary regime, particularly, he highlighted the observation of complex dynamics of noise-like pulses and the measurement of rogue waves.

In his intervention, Dr. Baldemar Ibarra Escamilla, from the "Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica, Óptica y Electrónica (INAOE)," showed different configurations of tunable laser cavities, of one and two wave longitudes, to generate laser light in the region of 1550 nm, for medical, industrial and remote sensing applications.

Dr. Evgen Kuzin, from INAOE, described the useful features of the optical fiber for lasers and non-linear effects that allow obtaining ultrashort pulses with applications in metrology, biophysics and medicine. On his part, Dr. Sabino Chávez Cerda from CIO-INAOE, showed a paraxial approximation method for the calculus of beam propagation in waveguides applied to optical communications and lasers.

Dr. Diana Tentori, from the "Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE)" shared the progress in the study of the birefringence in optical fibers for sensor applications of conventional optical fiber applied to industry. And Dr. Hon Po from CIO, described in detail devices such as Bragg grids, WDMs among other devices used in optical fibers for the fabrication of high potency fiber lasers from Kilowatts, showing their different applications.
