| Recent sum-rule calculations show
that nonlinear susceptibilities are bounded. For more
information, please check - M.
G. Kuzyk, "Physical Limits on Electronic Nonlinear Molecular
Susceptibilities," Physical Review Letters 85, 1218
(2000). |
Professor Kuzyk's Lab has unique
facilities to make single mode polymer optical fibers.
The photograph above shows an endview of a single mode guide
and the theoretical intensity profile. See publication
list for more info. |

Fiber Optics, a research area that was pioneered by his group
at WSU |
Professor Kuzyk's work on using sum rules
to calculate quantum limitations of optical devices is featured
in Circuits
& Devices Magazine, September 2003 Issue.
Professor Kuzyk's theoretical work on the fundamental theoretical
limit is driving new research around the world. His work has been
highlighted in the press. Check the links below for more information.
