low-threshold femtosecond lasers; mirror-based dispersioncompensation schemes; multi-GHz sources in the near-infrared and at the telecommunications wavelengths; new laser materials such as the Yb:tungstates and tellurite glasses; semiconductor-based pulsed sources and 
nanostructures; 1.3 micron femtosecond sources for bio-photonics applications as well as 2 micron laser sources. We also work in the field of Biophotonics where we are using a varity of photonics techniques for the study and treatment of disease processes at the cellular and molecular levels
