Final Examination of Hao-Jung Chang for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Optics and Photonics
Dissertation Title: “First and Third Susceptibility of Organic Molecule”   Abstract: Illuminating a material with intense laser excitation may change its properties and result in nonlinear absorption (NLA) and nonlinear refraction (NLR). In this dissertation we study the nonlinear absorption…
Final Examination of Jessica Pena for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Optics and Photonics
Dissertation Title: “Filament Propagation through Atmospheric Conditions”   Abstract: Laser propagation over long ranges is a challenge due to turbulence, aerosols, and other environmental factors. Linear propagation through adverse, real-world environments will often lead to diffraction and distortion of the…
Final Examination of Xiaowen Hu for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Optics and Photonics
Dissertation Title: “Machine Learning in Fiber Optics” Abstract: Recent burgeoning machine learning has revolutionized our ways of looking at the world. Being extraordinarily good at pattern recognition, machine learning has been widely applied to many fields to solve the problems…
Final Examination of Abbas Shiri for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering
Dissertation Title: “Space-Time Photonics”   Abstract: Many of the features of photonic devices, including some of the most ubiquitous components such as resonators and waveguides, are usually thought to be intrinsically dependent on their geometry and constitutive materials. As such,…
CREOL Seminar: Prof. Jens Biegert - Lightwave-driven Quantum Dynamics in materials
Abstract: Electron recollision in an intense laser field gives rise to a variety of phenomena, ranging from electron diffraction to coherent soft X-ray emission. We have, over the years, developed intense sources of waveform-controlled mid-IR light to exploit the process…
CREOL Seminar: Dr. Martin Fermann - Precision frequency transfer with frequency combs
Abstract: We review recent developments in Er and Yb based high power fiber frequency combs and introduce their applications in single cycle pulse generation, widely tunable mid and far-IR light sources and frequency conversion to the VUV.  We also discuss…
