Spearker - Prof. Deepak Jain - Indian Institute of Technology Delhi

Host faculty - Prof. Supradeepa V.R

Applied Photonics Initiative, with its sister student chapter IISc Optica Student Chapter at IISc Bengaluru is hosting an 
expert talk, titled as "Next generation specialty optical fibers for Classical and Quantum light sources". It is an honor 
for us to invite Prof. Deepak Jain from Indian Institute of Technology Delhi to share his knowledge and expertise in the 
field of fiber optics. ✨

In this talk, the professor shall present his recent progress on specialty optical fibers, tailored for both classical and 
quantum light sources applications. This talk will cover progress and key innovations, being done by his group.

Prof. Deepak Jain is an Associate Professor at the Optics & Photonics Center (OPC) of the Indian Institute of Technology 
Delhi where he leads a group on specialty optical fibers and high-power fiber lasers. Before this, he was a University Research 
Fellow at the University of Sydney, and a HansChristian Oersted and Marie-Curie Research Fellow at the Technical University of Denmark. 
He obtained his Ph.D. from the Optoelectronics Research Center, University of Southampton, UK. His research interests lie at 
the intersection of light, its diverse applications, and the translation of photonics technologies from academia to industry. 
He is the founder of DeepLase Technologies, a Delhi-based laser company, and SpecPhotonics, an Adelaide-based specialty optical fiber startup.
