Areas: Specialty Optical Fibers, Disordered Optical
Sytems, Non-hermitian optical systems and exceptional point,
Optical Sensors.
Significantly contributed to a strategic project on
polarization holding specialty optical fibers of the kind-PANDA
designs for subsequent fabrication. After a successful
fabrication of multi-kilometer fibers at CSIR-CGCRI Kolkata,
DRDOs RCI Laboratory in Hyderabad, India has judged this
innovation as a breakthrough indigenous critical component
development.
Notable contributions to the design of fibers for "Fiber to the Home (FTTH)" applications for the megafiber
manufacturer in India.
