Laser and OpticsFiber Optics and Photonics

The research areas covered under “fiber optics and photonics” are Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance based Sensors, nanophotonics, fiber Bragg gratings, photonic crystal fiber and their applications, fiber optic sensors with applications that spans from structural health monitoring, environmental engineering to biomedical science. Major research objectives realized in aforesaid period are:

All optical fiber sensor based on fiber Bragg grating inscripted onto a fiber nano-wire has been developed for simultaneously sensing multi-parameters that includes strain, temperature and relative humidity. It is equipped with an extremely high (more than 10 times) strain sensitivity as compared to the best sensitivity reported in the literature till date is realized with a novel scheme employed for the development of this sensor.

Optical Fiber Sensors for structural health monitoring have been developed to sense the tilt angle and its direction from horizontal for a given structure (bridges, under water canal, sky-rising buildings etc.) using four fiber Bragg grating with linear dynamic range and manifold enhanced sensitivity.

Surface Plasmon resonance/Localized Surface Plasmon resonance based Optical Fiber Sensor have been developed for environmental applications such as to measure the refractive index and relative humidity is developed covering entire dynamic range (~5 to ~99%) with linear response and higher sensitivity.

Nanoparticle doped optical fiber is developed and fabricated in-house for sensing applications. Optical fiber nanowire sensor exploiting Localized Surface Plasmon resonance have been developed for

environmental applications such as to measure relative humidity is developed covering widest possible dynamic range with linear response and higher sensitivity. Optical fiber nanowire sensors are also exploited/are being exploited for strain/temperature/torsion sensing.

Computer generated holography and optical microscopy Ongoing research works in the area of computer generated holography arehigh speed wave front sensing,

interferometry, generation and study of vortex beams, hologram based beam deflection, etc. There has also been an optical sectioning microscope that incorporates binary hologram based beam scanning. At present

Page 3: 11 Physics

work is in progress towards the development of a confocal microscope that will facilitate dynamic control over the excitation beam profile.

High Energy PhysicsResearch activities of the High Energy Physics Group include particle physics phenomenology, its cosmological connection and experimental high energy physics.

Phenomenology of Particle Physics beyond the Standard Model emphasizes on aspects of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and Higgs Mechanism and CP violation, currently focusing on models like the Little Higgs Model and Models within the Extra‐dimensional scenarios. Apart from such specific models, generic analyses in a model independent way to understand dynamics beyond the scope of Standard Model in cases with strongly interacting gauge bosons, and additional gauge bosons like the Z‐prime are also being actively pursued.

Throughout the last decade, we observe empirical evidences, which demonstrate that the Standard Model of elementary particle physics is incomplete, e.g. non‐baryonic dark matter, dark energy, neutrino mass, baryon asymmetry, nearly scale invariant density perturbations. Many of these are possible messengers from early universe. Understanding of such early stages of the universe requires the development of particle physics, while the universe may be regarded as a testing ground of particle physics at high energies beyond the reach of accelerators. We are involved in finding mutual relationship between cosmology and particle physics based on the study of matter antimatter asymmetry, dark matter/energy, neutrinos, inflation and physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particle physics.

On Experimental High Energy Physics, we are collaborating with the Belle/Belle II and BaBar experiments for research involving B‐mesons, CP violation and physics search beyond Standard Model. We are also collaborating with the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) and India‐m Based Neutrino Observatory (INO) group for research in Neutrino Physics.
