ABOUT ME
The world is full of mysteries, but I only want to explore what intestests me most. The true passion only comes from on-going exploration and hard work.
-
I am a laser designer. My doctoral study has been on the developement of mid-infrared lasers. I have a solid understanding of laser principle. Two breakthroughs were achieved during my research by novel design and optimization.
-
I am a computer programmer. For research, I did a lot of numerical calculations in Matlab, and some automatic data collection in Labview. Now I have been learning Python, Java and other web developing languages. I really appreciate the programming paradigm of object oriented and the design pattern. I share what I have learned in my blogger (link).
-
I am an active runner and finished 2 full marathons in 2015 (link). I think both the body and the brain need regular exercise to become stronger. What's more important is that I enjoy the training~ How did I finish 26.2 miles? One more mile each time. It is that simple!
EDUCATION
2003- 2007
University of Beijing Posts and Telecommunications
B.S. in Applied Physics
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Interband cascade (IC) lasers
IC lasers have been demonstrated as a most efficient lasers in 3~5 micrometers. Further understanding the device physics and structure optimization will continue to improve the laser performance.
2007 - 2010
Institute of semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences
M.S. in Material Physics and Chemistry
2010 - 2016
University of Oklahoma
Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Characteristic temperature (T0) of diode lasers
It is well known that T0 is very small, e.g., 40~60 K for infrared lasers. It can be attributed to the carrier loss due to Auger recommbination and insufficient band offset. A quantitative and comprehensive model is currently under work.
