At the “Centro de Investigaciones en Óptica, A.C.” (CIO), I do research in two areas:
I am joined to the group of Optical properties of nano systems, surfaces and interfaces, wherein we are interested in the theoretical study of structures and systems within the nanometric scale and interfaces and surfaces. We performed numerical calculations of the linear and nonlinear response of these structures. In particular, on the one hand, we apply the optical techniques of reflectance anisotropy and second harmonic generation in order to study surfaces. On the other hand, we are interested in the optical study of nanostructures, such as nanotubes, nanoclusters, graphene-like structures, through calculations of their linear and nonlinear susceptibilities.
I am colaborating with the group of Optical fibers of CIO, wherein we are interested in the study of both index-guiding and hollow-core photonic crystal fibers. We are interested not only in the design of PCF that have particular dispersion and nonlinear properties but also in the theoretical study of propagation of pulses along the fiber. Besides, we have been interested in PCF sensing schemes.
