Outline of Annual Research Achievements

Polarisation of light at the waist of a fiber has been controlled - leading to publication in Phys. Rev. Appl. A crossed fiber system has been used in order to obtain full control along the entire Poincare sphere.

Current Status of Research Progress

1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.

Reason

Following publication and several invited talks to international meetings on this topic, but not funded through the grant.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

Continuation of control of light in optical nanofibers through various means.
