Table-top synchrotrons

I have an in-built desire to understand nonlinear physical phenomea and control them for advanced technical applications that benefit humanity. This is why I work in so-called supercontinuum generation in optical fibers the size of a human hair - it contains a plethora of beautiful nonlinear physical effects, such as generation of violent rogue waves that on the ocean destroy ships. My ambitious vision is to develop novel optical fibers that guide both ultra-short and ultra-long wavelengths, and develop new laser technology and theoretical understanding to control the violent supercontinuum process in them. This will allow me to develop a user facility of table-top lasers covering the wavelength region from 33 to 15,000 nanometers with a brightness order of magnitude higher than 50,000 times larger synchrotrons.
