Diffraction of fractal light by simple apertures
Presentation / Conference
Mylova, M., Christian, J., & McDonald, G. Diffraction of fractal light by simple apertures. Presented at Quantum Electronics and Photonics Conference (Photon14/QEP-21), Imperial College London, UK

We propose and investigate, for the first time to our knowledge, an entirely new
regime in wave physics  the diffraction of fractal waves from simple apertures. A
selection of new analyses and physical predictions will be given for experimental
g... Read More about Diffraction of fractal light by simple apertures.

Spatiotemporal vector solitons in nonlinear optical systems with \chi(3) susceptibility
Presentation / Conference
Ashley, J., Christian, J., McDonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. Spatiotemporal vector solitons in nonlinear optical systems with \chi(3) susceptibility. Presented at 5th European Optical Society Annual Meeting, Berlin, Germany

A new model is proposed for describing coupled optical waves propagating in a system with linear dispersion (both group-velocity and spatial contributions) \chi(3 nonlinear susceptibility. The modulational instability problem is solved in full, and... Read More about Spatiotemporal vector solitons in nonlinear optical systems with \chi(3) susceptibility.

Multi-turing instabilities in Fabry-Perot resonators and discrete microcavities
Presentation / Conference
Bostock, C., Christian, J., McDonald, G., Leite, A., & Huang, J. Multi-turing instabilities in Fabry-Perot resonators and discrete microcavities. Presented at 5th European Optical Society Annual Meeting, Berlin, Germany

We report on research concerning spontaneous spatial fractal pattern formation in
passive nonlinear optical cavities (both ring-resonator and Fabry-Pérot geometries).
A new model for light propagation inside discrete coupled cavities is proposed... Read More about Multi-turing instabilities in Fabry-Perot resonators and discrete microcavities.

Unstable cavity lasers - from kaleidoscopes to snowflakes
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., Begleris, I., McDonald, G., & Huang, J. Unstable cavity lasers - from kaleidoscopes to snowflakes. Presented at 5th European Optical Society Annual Meeting (EOSAM 2014), Berlin, Germany

The snowflake laser is proposed  a new class of unstable resonator whose
feedback mirror has the shape of the von Koch snowflake. Theoretical analysis is
undertaken with two-dimensional virtual source theory, and predictions of novel mode
patt... Read More about Unstable cavity lasers - from kaleidoscopes to snowflakes.

A functional electrical stimulation (fes) control system for upper limb rehabilitation
Thesis
Sun, M. A functional electrical stimulation (fes) control system for upper limb rehabilitation. (Thesis). University of Salford

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is the controlled use of electrical pulses to produce contraction of muscles in such a way as to support functional movement. FES is now widely used to aid walking in stroke patients and research into using FES... Read More about A functional electrical stimulation (fes) control system for upper limb rehabilitation.
