讲座摘要：
The Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom
is one of the world’s largest and most successful institutes for photonics research. Many of the major
developments in today’s global optical fibre infrastructure were pioneered by ORC researchers
including the world renowned, Professor Sir David N. Payne, Director of the ORC. The developments
comprise the optical fibres and optical amplifiers, including the EDFA (Erbium doped fibre amplifier)
that power the internet, the fibre gyroscope now used extensively in a range of modern aircraft to aid
navigation, a range of optical fibre sensor technologies, and the fibre laser used for a variety of
applications ranging from manufacturing, over medicine, to defence. In addition, many of these
technologies were initially commercialised through spin-out companies from the ORC.
Bill will in this talk highlight some of the latest exciting developments in the field of optical
fibre technology from the ORC, and how these can relate to the internet-of-things. We will show
examples of state-of-the-art optical fibres for next generation telecommunication systems, cutting
edge optical fibre sensor designs, and new fibre laser configurations for applications in metrology,
high performance sensing and machining. The talk will be relevant to students interested optical fibre
technology, and for researchers interested in becoming involved with this exhilarating field.
英国南安普顿光电子研究中心（ORC）是全球光学研究领域最大、最成功的研究
机构之一。当今全球光纤设施中许多重要发展，都是由 ORC 研究人员倡导和引领的，
例如世界著名教授，ORC 研究中心主任 David N. Payne爵士。这些显著进展包含了光
纤技术，包含促进当前互联网发展的掺铒光纤放大器 EDFA 在内的光放大器技术，广
泛用于现代航空航天辅助导航的光纤陀螺技术，一系列的光纤传感技术，以及大量应
用于制造业、药业与国防的光纤激光器。此外，这些先进技术中的大部分最初都是通
过 ORC 的衍生公司实现其商业化。
此次报告，将重点突出南安普顿大学光电子研究中心最新所取得的一些令人激动
的光纤技术领域研究成果。将列举出下一代通信系统中最新型光纤、尖端光纤传感器
技术、应用于度量学的新型光纤激光器配置方案、高性能传感和机械制造技术等。
这次报告还将简要介绍南安普顿大学 ORC 和物理学院的相关学习交流机会。热烈
欢迎对光电、电子、通信、材料等领域以及对光纤技术感兴趣的大三大四本科生和研
究生以及科研人员参与
