Mini-Symposium on Nonlinearities in Lasers

The Symposium is a preevent for the PhD defense of Ekin Önder on 24. May 13:00 in Rydbergsalen:
Dynamical Analysis of Terahertz Quantum Cascade Lasers

16:15 Carlo Sirtori (ENS Paris): Temporal profile of quantum cascade laser frequency combs

16:45 Kathy Lüdge (TU Ilmenau): Reservoir computing using a semiconductor laser with delayed feedback

17:15 Break

17:30 Anna Szerling (Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics, Warsaw): Monolithic-high contrast gratings for infrared optoelectronics

Carlo Sirtori is Professor at ENS in Paris. He is one of the leading researchers in the development of Quantum Cascade Lasers and was already involved in its first demonstration together with J. Faist and F. Capasso. He has a broad range of interest including pioneering works on ultrastrong light-matter coupling, frequency combs, and free space data transmission in the infrared.

Kathy Lüdge is Professor at TU Ilmenau. She is one of the leading researchers on nonlinear and chaotic behavior of semiconductor laser. A particular recent topic is Photonic Reservoir Computing.

Anna Szerling is head of the section GaN-based Devices, Sensors, Thin-film Structures and Porous Materials at the Polish Institute for Microelectronics and Photonics. She has long-standing experience in semiconductor laser technology where quantum cascade lasers have been an essential part. Another recent actvity are GaN HEMT transistors for application in microwave power sources.
