Laser, Optics and Photonics
International Conference on
I
n this talk, I will review the recent progress in the development
of novel CW and ultrashort pulse quantum dot lasers for
the generation of light in the near-IR and visible spectral
regions. With a brief introduction on QD laser background
information, I will discuss the recent achievements in the
development of CW/ultrashort pulse lasers. Then I will present
the recent progress in the development of broadly-tuneable
near-IR QD lasers in the CW and mode-locked regimes.
This talk also will give an overview of the advances made
with SHG in nonlinear waveguided crystals pumped by QD
lasers and discuss various applications of such light sources.
Speaker Biography
Edik U Rafailov received his PhD from the Ioffe Institute, St Petersburg. Since 1987, he
has been engaged in the research and development of different light sources. He was
responsible for the first demonstration of novel high-power Al free laser diodes. He was
also responsible for the first demonstration of femtosecond pulse generation directly from
laser diodes. In 2005 he moved to University of Dundee, UK and established the new group
and later in 2014 hemoved to Aston University. He has authored and co-authored over 450
articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings, including two books (WILEY), ten
invited chapters and numerous invited talks to SPIE, LEOS and CLEO. He also holds 11 UK
andtwoUSpatents. In2014hehasbeenawardedtheLebedevMedaloftheRussianOptical
Society. He coordinated a €14.7M FP7 IP FAST-DOT and the €12.5M NEWLED projects.
RecentlyhewasawardedtheH2020FETprojectMeso-Brain(€3.3M)andEPSRCUK)(£1M).
He also leads other projects funded by EU FP7H2020 and UK EPSRC. His current research
interests include high-power CW, ultrashort-pulse lasers; generation of UV/visible/IR/MIR
and THz radiation, nano-structures; nonlintear and integrated optics; and biophotonics.
