Research Activities

1. Non-linear dynamics of optical and spin waves in magnetically ordered layers and layered structures.
   Investigations include spin wave solitons, cross-phase modulation, pulse compression, shock wave propagation.
2. Magneto-optics: interaction of propagating light and spin waves in ferromagnetic films and layered structures (including non-linear waves).
3. Magneto-optics for visualization of magnetic structures: passive magneto-optics.
4. Magneto-acoustics: interaction between spin and elastic waves.
5. Magnetic nanostructures (including superconductor layers).
6. Development and creation of innovative electronic/optical components and microsystems which are capable of providing the connection of companies and individuals to high speed information networks. In particular, passive and active
   · spin-wave filters and multiplexers
   · spin-wave
   magneto-optic Bragg cells are created using the unique properties of magnetostatic waves and vibrations existing in optically transparent ferromagnetic materials. The technology of these components utilises recent physical achievements in the fields of spinwave and vibration processes in solid state layered structures. These components are capable of processing the data streams transmitting at both microwave and millimetrewavelengths.
7. Telecommunications.
8. Sound processing and for ATM/STM systems.
