Our group focuses on large laser diode arrays as a medium of choice to study non-linear phenomena, collective behaviors and phase synchrony, with both state-of-the-art experimental and numerical capabilities. In particular the effect of external optical feedback and strong coupling between lasers is investigated as a tool towards high-power, low-divergence, coherent laser beams with applications in directed energy, sensing and communication. The wavelengths of interest for our research span from blue light (450 nm) to the near-infrared (1064 nm). We also explore the unique properties of non-linear dynamics to extract weak signals from noisy environments.

2024 Optics Day
Optics Day, an annual event, invites curious minds of all ages and backgrounds to explore the wonders of optics and photonics. It provides an incredible opportunity for the community to become more familiar with CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics in a relaxed, non-classroom setting.
