Photonic band gap fibre and single-ring anti-resonant fibre have been successfully fabricated. Experiments are being conducted for efficient laser beam transmission at specific wavelengths through the fabricated fibres.

Nano zinc oxide/graphene-polymer composite materials with superior flexibility, high gauge factor and wide measurement range have been synthesized using hydrothermal, electrospinning and solvothermal methods. Mechanical, thermal, structural, morphological and...

Quarter wavelength optical designed single layer and double-layer sol-gel derived metal oxide based antireflection (transmission, 98-99% at 1054 nm) coatings have been fabricated on quartz glass optics. In addition, high reflection (>55% at 1054 nm) of 5-layer...

A lab scale (~ 50 g/batch) synthesis of graphene oxide has been developed in partnership with industry. Based on the process technology, the sponsor is able to create a pilot plant production of graphene oxide upto 500 g per batch. The produced graphene oxide has...
