The Physics and Engineering of Compact Quantum Dot-based Lasers for Biophotonics

About

Professor Edik Rafailov has been engaged in the research and development of high-power cw and ultra-short pulse lasers nonlinear and integrated optics since 1987. In 2005 he moved to Dundee University and established a new Photonics and Nanoscience group. He was previously a senior researcher at Ioffe Institute St Petersburg and a research fellow at the University of St Andrews. He has authored and co-authored over 250 articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings and has co edited a book and four invited chapters as well as invited talks at many conferences including CLEO SPIE and IEEE. He also holds eight UK and two US patents. He is the coordinator of EU and UK EPSRC funded projects. His current research interests include novel high-power CW short and ultrashort-pulse lasers generation of UV/visible/IR and THz radiation nano-structures nonlinear optics and biophotonics.
