Expert Profile
Dr. ***** specializes in the development and application of ***** -based systems, particularly those that use solid-state ***** s and diode ***** s, including diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) ***** s. Dr. ***** ’s expertise covers ***** systems operating from the UV to mid-IR in the single-frequency to ultra-short pulse regimes. Specific ***** materials expertise includes Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO4, Nd:YSGG, Nd:GSGG, Cr:Nd:GGG, Er:YLF, Er:YAG Yb, r:glass, Co:MgF2, Ti:Al2O3 and Cr:YAG. Specific nonlinear optics experience includes harmonic generation of 1-micron and 1. 3-micron ***** s to UV and visible wavelengths using KTP, LBO, BBO and LiIO3 and optical parametric oscillators using KTP, KTA and CdSe to cover most of the 1. 3-micron to 10-micron region.

Dr. ***** is a member of The Optical Society of America and The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
Dr. ***** has over 40 peer reviewed publications, 4 patents and is co-author of the chapter on “Miniature Solid-State *****s,” in the Handbook of Photonics (second edition) published by CRC Press in 2007.
Dr. ***** received recognition for the first demonstration of room temperature operation of the Co:MgF2 ***** system in Optics News as a significant advance in the field of optics in 1988. He also
managed the development and introduction of the first
commercially available sub-picosecond mode-locked cw Ti:Al2O3 *****, the Titan-ML, the winner of a Product Award in 1991 from Photonics Spectra.
