Balazs Plosz

Balazs Plosz serves as a Research Associate at the Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences within the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, United Kingdom. His work centers on advanced photonics research utilizing hollow-core optical fibers filled with molecular gases to generate broadband supercontinuum light.

His research interests prominently feature Photonics, Optical Fibers, and Supercontinuum Generation, with specialized focus on Nonlinear Optics phenomena in gas-filled fiber systems. Key investigations include spectral flatness optimization, molecular gas dynamics (particularly $$\text{CH}_4$$), and nonlinear interactions like stimulated Raman scattering under high-power laser pumping conditions.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent advancement in methane-filled hollow-core fiber technology, achieving ultra-flat supercontinuum spectra through dual-pumping techniques and modulation instability control. His 2023-2025 output reveals strong emphasis on practical applications for gas sensing and spectroscopy, with notable contributions to green-light pumping regimes and antiresonant fiber structures.

Plosz maintains active collaboration with researchers including A. Lekosiotis, F. Belli, and J.C. Travers within Heriot-Watt's photonics research group. His work shows increasing citation impact (4 SciVal citations) and practical relevance through experimental validation of molecular gas fiber optics.
