Novel optical sensing technologies (Talk)
- Felipe Guzman (Dr.)
Coherent light enables optical measurements of exquisite sensitivity, advancing technologies for improved sensing and autonomous systems. From my previous work on gravitational physics, I will present a brief overview on technologies for laser-interferometric gravitational-wave observatories, particularly within the scope of the European mission LISA Pathfinder, to be launched at the end 2015. In addition, I will talk about my current work in novel and highly compact optomechanical systems and photonic crystals, optical micro-resonators with sensitivities below femtometer levels, as well as fiber-based non-destructive inspection techniques. To conclude, I will share my ideas on how to expand my research in optomechanical systems, optical technologies, and real-time data and image processing towards applications in robotics and intelligent systems.
