Dr. Jacques Albert
Canada Research Chair
Canada Research Chair
In 2004 the Canada Research Chair in Advanced Photonic Components was established in the Department of Electronics, Carleton University, with Professor Jacques ALBERT as its first Chairholder.
A new Photonics Laboratory was then put in place with funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Ontario Innovation Trust, and significant contributions from several private sector partners. The Laboratory became fully operational by the end of 2004 and it is staffed by an experienced full time technical officer.
Our area of expertise deals with novel devices and systems based on photonic waveguides made of glass, in fibre or planar configurations. More specifically, we have unique expertise and capabilities for the development of devices based on periodic structures, fabricated in our laboratories. Finally our main fields of application focus on optical sensing, as well as active devices in glass for lasers and modulators. Our work is mostly experimental, but based on sound theoretical considerations and advanced modelling tools.
