The project 鈥淧hysical platform of non-linear photonic techniques and systems鈥� has won in the third contest of megagrants and will be realized at NSU.
Professor Sergei Turitsyn, a graduating student of NSU, will be the head of the Laboratory. At present he is at the head of the Institute of Photonics at the University of Aston (Great Britain). According to him, students and young research workers will be involved in the work. 9 students and post-graduate students are working already in the new Laboratory. Physicists and mathematicians interested in the new research work may join the laboratory after writing Prof.Turitsyn: s.k.turitsyn@aston.ac.uk.
The governing body and staff of NSU appreciate the creation of the Laboratory positively. 鈥淭he Laboratory of non-linear photonics is bound to increase considerably the scientific and technological potential of NSU and to strengthen its academic reputation鈥�, says Sergei Kobtsev, Doctor of Physical-Mathematical Sciences, Head of the Department of Laser Physics and Innovation Techniques of the Scientific Research Sector of NSU. 鈥淣SU students are going to do practical work and research and to work for their Bachelor鈥檚 and Master鈥檚 degrees.鈥�
According to the Rector of NSU Mikhail Fedoruk, it is very prestigious that NSU is one out of three top Russian universities that has won in the megagrants contest.
The Laboratory developments are being projected to apply to up-to-date laser systems for scientific, industrial and medical use and in the systems of secure information transmission of new types. Besides, commercialization of the results will be brought about due to a close collaboration with the small innovation enterprises founded at NSU and by the residents of the industrial park in Akademgorodok (Novosibirsk, Russia).
