| The public defense of the Matei Rusu's doctoral thesis on the 24th of November 2006 |
Matei Rusu’s doctoral thesis “Frequency conversion using ultrafast fiber lasers” deals with the generation of ultrashort (10-12 seconds-long) laser pulses in the visible and ultraviolet spectral regions. The work addresses various aspects of ultrashort pulse generation, from optimization of the laser source to techniques for optical frequency conversion. Both simulation and experimental results are presented, along with suggestions for compact and reliable generators of ultrashort laser pulses.
The public defense of the dissertation will take place on the 24th of November 2006 at 12.00, in Auditorium TB104 in Tietotalo building. Professor Sergei Turitsyn from Aston University (UK) will act as opponent, whereas Professor Oleg Okhotnikov (ORC, TUT) will be the custos.
