Denis ĐONLAGIĆ

Denis Đonlagić’s field of work includes photonics systems, sensors, and passive micro-optomechanical devices. He has in-depth research and development experience in optical fibers and waveguides, fiber optic sensors, optoelectronics interrogation/signal processing systems, and different micromachining processes related to the reforming of optical fibers. The results of this work have been the basis for continuous collaboration with leading global leading industrial partners in the field of sensors and photonics technologies. Denis Đonkagić was also between 2006 and 2017, a shareholder and technical adviser at Optacore d.o.o., a privately owned SME dedicated to the production of specialty fibers and fiber manufacturing equipment (in 2017 Optacore was acquired by Lumentum Inc., USA and continues its operations in Ljubljana, Slovenia).

Optical nanowire configured into a Fabry-Perot interferometer, created at the tip of an optical fiber. This is a highly sensitive sensor that can be used for sensing in refractive index changes in very thin layers, such as aptamer layers used in biomedical sensors.
