CREOL Spring Colloquium Series: Optical wireless communication with infrared pencil beams – enjoying the benefits of fiber without needing a fiber
Abstract: Optical wireless communication (OWC) is a powerful answer to solve the imminent congestion of radio wireless networks. By using narrow infrared beams, it can offer ultra-high capacity to users individually, at high user density, with enhanced privacy and reduced…
IEEE Distinguished Lecturer: Ultraviolet Optoelectronics for a Better Living
Abstract: Infectious diseases and water are some of the greatest, most urgent challenges of the 21st century. III-nitride ultraviolet (UV) light sources, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, are the only alternative technology to replace conventional power-hungry, hazardous mercury lamps…
CREOL Spring Colloquium Series, New (chiral) light on nonlinear laser spectroscopy
Abstract: Selection rules in nonlinear optics determine which radiation modes are allowed/forbidden in nonlinear processes. Traditionally, the theory accounts for symmetries of the medium only. I will first present a more general theory in which the selection rules are derived…
