Abstract: Nanoscale effects in photonic structures fabricated from pure optical fibres are reviewed. In contrast to those in plasmonics, these structures do not contain metal particles, wires, or films with nanoscale dimensions. Nevertheless, a nanoscale perturbation of the fibre radius can significantly alter their performance. I consider slow propagation of whispering gallery modes along the fibre surface. The axial propagation of these modes is so slow that they can be governed by extremely small nanoscale changes of the optical fibre radius. The described phenomenon is exploited in SNAP (Surface Nanoscale Axial Photonics), a new platform for fabrication of miniature super-low-loss photonic integrated circuits with unprecedented sub-angstrom precision. The SNAP theory and applications are reviewed.

Bio: Michael (Misha) Sumetsky graduated from the Saint-Petersburg State University, Russia, and has Ph.D. and D.Sc. degrees from the same University. He worked at the Physics Department of Saint-Petersburg University of Telecommunications (Russia) till 1995 when he joined Bell Laboratories (USA). In 2001-2013, Dr. Sumetsky continued his research at OFS Labs after transition of the Optical Fiber Research Department of Bell Labs into the OFS Labs of the Furukawa Electric Company. In 2013 he joined the Institute of Photonic Technologies at Aston University, UK, where he is currently Professor of Photonics. Sumetsky is a Fellow of the OSA, Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award Holder, and has more than 200 publications and more than 25 patents in optics and quantum mechanics. His present research interests are in optics of microresonators, micro/nanofibers, and nanophotonics.

Misha Sumetsky教授毕业于俄罗斯圣彼得堡国立大学，并先后于该校获得博士及理学博士学位。随后在俄罗斯圣彼得堡通信大学物理学院任职，直到1995年加入贝尔实验室（美国），并于2001年贝尔实验室光纤研究部门转换为OFS实验室后，继续从事相关研究。2013年，Sumetsky博士出任阿斯顿大学光子技术研究所教授。Sumetsky教授目前是美国光学学会会士以及英国皇家学会沃夫森优异奖（Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award）获得者，在光学以及量子力学方向发表200多篇论文及25篇专利，目前主要从事光学微腔，微纳光纤，以及纳米光子学的研究。
