Welcome to FIOlab
The FIO Lab is engaged in the development of novel photonic devices based on optical fibers and integrated optics. Applications are mainly related to sensing (curvature, temperature, refractive index, salinity, and pressure) and telecommunications (tunable lasers, photonic switches, modulators).
Fiber devices are developed using specialty fibers and integrated devices are fabricated using platforms such as Silicon on Insulator (SOI), polymers, and InP.
The FIO Lab is located at the Unidad Aguascalientes, Centro de Investigaciones en Óptica, A.C.
Dr. Daniel A. May-Arrioja is currently a full-time Researcher at CIO Unidad Aguascalientes.
