The Martin Rochette’s Photonic Systems Group focuses on nonlinear and quantum phenomena in optical fibers and integrated waveguides, with applications in telecommunications, sensing, and mid-infrared photonics.

Current research directions include:

• Nonlinear fiber optics and supercontinuum generation
• Mid-infrared and visible light sources based on soft-glass fibers
• Integrated photonic devices in chalcogenide and silicon nitride platforms
• Ultrafast optical signal processing and all-optical switching
• Fiber-based sensors for harsh environments
• Quantum optics in waveguide systems

The group develops novel specialty optical fibers, on-chip nonlinear devices, mid-IR supercontinuum sources, and high-speed photonic components that push the limits of current optical technologies.
