Research Summary
At MIT, Professor Mathias aims to continue his work on multilayer photonics coatings for elastic substrates. He has developed a means to coat fibers such that they reflect light in a very narrow wavelength band, the center wavelength of which varies with the state of strain of the underlying material.

Optical micro-cavities are structures confining light in a small volume by resonant circulation. They can be constructed from two reflective surfaces sandwiching a gain medium to create light-emitting devices and lasers.
