Areas of Competence

These are just the main areas of competence. Do not hesitate to inquire about other fields. You will get an honest statement concerning the level of competence in the requested field.

Nonlinear Optics

($\chi^{(2)}$) interactions:

($\chi^{(3)}$) interactions:

Kerr effect, self-phase modulation, cross-phase modulation, self-steepening
Raman amplification
four-wave mixing
supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers

The available competence is demonstrated by the scientific publications of Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta and the RP Photonics Encyclopedia. Dr. Paschotta has worked out detailed designs for nonlinear frequency conversion stages, developed software for systematically evaluating all possible phase-matching configurations for a given nonlinear interaction, analyzed subtle details of synchronously pumped parametric oscillators, and simulated supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fibers (including noise properties).
