SFPD is a newly established research group at the Optics and Photonics Center of IIT Delhi. SFPD deals in the area of Design, Fabrication, and Applications of Semiconductors and Specialty Optical Fibers in different domains such as light sources, amplifiers, sensing, spectroscopy, optical communication, and quantum computing.

SFPD will develop next-generation semiconductor and fiber devices for material processing in the manufacturing industry, tame lightning, and clearing debris in space, broadband supercontinuum light sources for spectroscopy and imaging, photonic integrated circuits fibers and amplifiers for optical communication, photonics hardware to meet artificial intelligence demand, and single-photon sources for quantum computing with an interdisciplinary approach along with the training of the students and researchers.
