Our work on nonlinear interaction of counterpropagating light in microresonators received the 2018 NPL Rayleigh Award. Congratulations to everyone!

Our work on microresonator-based optical isolators and circulators using the nonreciprocity of the Kerr effect has been published in Optica. https://doi.org/10.1364/OPTICA.5.000279

Leonardo Del Bino won a best poster award at the “653. WE-Heraeus-Seminar: Optical Microcavities and Their Applications” for his poster on optical isolators and circulators based on the nonreciprocity of the Kerr effect in microresonators.

Jonathan Silver received the “Best Presentation Award” of NPL’s time and frequency symposium.

Jonathan Silver was awarded a postdoctoral research fellowship by the Royal Academy of Engineering for work on applications of spontaneous symmetry breaking between counterpropagating light in whispering gallery microresonators. Congratulations Jonathan!

Pascal Del’Haye received this year’s Young Scientist Award of the European Frequency and Time Forum. The award was presented during the plenary session of the EFTF/IFCS conference in Besancon “For outstanding contributions to the development of microresonator–based optical frequency combs”.

Leonardo Del Bino was rewarded with the Incubic/Milton Chang travel grant for his work on symmetry breaking of counterpropagating light in microresonators. The grant covers travel costs to this year’s CLEO conference in San Jose, CA USA. Congratulations Leonardo!
