CPPM Turns 3!
The CPPM is a group of around 30 people in the Department of Physics – academics, technicians,
postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students – who work together on various aspects of optics
and photonics. During the past three years the team has published over 100 papers in international
journals, and has brought in approximately £4.86 million in new research funding. The Centre is
best-known for its work on photonic crystal fibres – a new class of optical fibre which is finding
applications in a range of different areas including telecommunications and bio-medicine. For more
information on the work of the Centre, including a review of their first three years, please visit
