CUDOS students have reason to celebrate
Prizes were awarded to three CUDOS students at the International Commission for Optics Congress 21 in Sydney. Congratulations to Hong Nguyen (Sydney University) for winning the Optium prize for best student submission, and SPIE prize recipients Felix Lawrence (Sydney University) and Sara Ek (Macquarie University) for their presentation excellence.

Experimental Slow Light Postdeadline at OECC
CUDOS researchers at the Australian National University and their collaborators have performed proof-of-principle experiments, demonstrating new possibilities for the realization of controlled mixing and interactions between optical pulses in the regime of slow-light, when velocity is reduced by orders of magnitude compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

Sydney, April 5-9th, 2009
CUDOS is a research consortium between five Australian Universities:
The University of Sydney, Macquarie University, University of Technology Sydney, Australian National University and Swinburne University of Technology.
From left to right: Neil Baker, Snjezana Tomljenovic-Hanic, Ben Eggleton and Jamie Vahn in the lab at Sydney University.
We are funded by the Australian Research Council under the Centres of Excellence program.
The Research Director is Professor Ben Eggleton, with Professor Yuri Kivshar as Deputy Director.
The CUDOS research program has two central themes: micro-photonics and nonlinear photonics. Our goal of achieving ultrahigh-speed all-optical signal processing on a single photonic chip is addressed by combining these two themes to develop micron-scale photonic components incorporating nonlinear photonics processes. These all-optical signal processors will be the key enabling technology for the next generation of ultrahigh bandwidth optical communication systems.
The Centre has active research programs in photonic circuitry, microstructured optical fibres, 2D and 3D photonic crystals and photonic devices and applications. We have strong programs in nonlinear optical theory, modeling and simulation. Our experimental programs include the fabrication of micro-structured guided-wave optical devices and studies of nonlinear optical effects in periodic guided wave geometries. We have a comprehensive set of test and measurement capabilities, including a 40 Gb/s optical bit error rate test system (BERT).
