From Integrable Equations to Fibre-Optic Communication and Lasers

As part of the CaLISTA WG2 Workshop Recent Advances in Classical and Quantum Integrability, we are delighted to welcome you to this exciting public lecture.

Join Professor Sergei K. Turitsyn on a journey into the exciting world of fibre optics and optical communications and the mathematics behind it.

This talk will provide an overview of the fascinating connections between one of the master mathematical models of nonlinear science — the nonlinear Schrödinger equation — and two essential technologies: fibre-optic communication systems, which underpin global digital infrastructure, and fibre lasers.

Professor Turitsyn is a leading expert in nonlinear science, fibre optics, and optical communications. For over three decades, he has been working on various problems in nonlinear science, including soliton theory, self-focusing of light beams, discrete nonlinear systems, and nonlinear fibre optics. He is currently Professor of Photonics at Aston University and Director of the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AiPT).
