- The most high-core-count multicore fibre amplifier reported so far. We won the highly prestigious EU HORIZON PRIZE from this research in the development of a breakthrough solution in the area of point-to-point optical fibre transmission, which is the first of just 8 prizes awarded within the whole H2020 programme (https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/funding/funding-opportunities/prizes/horizon-prizes/optical-transmission-barriers_en). The work has also led to a joint patent (application number=GFK17011GB) with NTT&Fujikura in Japan, helping to build strong collaborative bonds. The work has generated 1 tutorial/5 invited talks and was used as the main input to a successful €1.5m-EU/Japan (SAFARI, 642928), £6.1m-EPSRC-Programme Grant (Airguide-Photonics, EP/P030181/1) and industrial HUAWEI project.
