Publication
Preprints
Preprints/reprints of some recent
papers.
Methods
for engineering few-cycle mode-locked lasers
(PDF)
My Ph.D. thesis, covering several
computational and experimental methods
I developed to
engineer lasers producing ultra short pulses.
Two-Dimensional
Spectral Shearing Interferometry (2DSI)
(PDF)
Need to measure the electric field of
an optical pulse lasting a few femtoseconds?
My
condolences. But this might help.
Modelocked
Laser Steady-state Pulse Solver (PDF)
My SM thesis, covering an algorithm
for solving directly for the steady state pulse of a nonlinear
cavity
with relatively weak nonlinearity, such as a
solid-state femtosecond laser. (There's also
a short
summary paper.)
The solution is typically found at
least 10 times faster than with standard simulations.
Dispersion
Optimization Algorithms
Code for the fast optimization and
analysis of
dispersion
from dielectric
mirrors.
Used for designing components for
ultrafast
optical systems and optical communications.
Ultrafast
Optics and Quantum Electronics Group
Home page of our research
group.
CV (PDF file)
Photographs
Mostly containing photos of interest
to family and friends.
Writing
Not a blog. I prefer "online
collection of informal essays."
Flying
Some photos from happier, wealthier
times.
Athena Public
Directory
My public
directory on the MIT
computing system,
Athena,
containing
a constantly changing set of items of random
interest.
Diffraction Theory
Illustration
A short visual illustration of the
various diffraction approximations,
intended for people
already familiar with linear systems.
Formula
Sheets
Equations of all types, arranged by
MIT class.
