The Field-resolved Infrared Spectroscopy Team welcomes Yang Gui as a new PhD student. Yang did his Bachelor in Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering at the Changchung University of Science and Technology in China. After that, he did his Master in Electronic and Information Engineering at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics. In his master thesis, he designed and constructed two ultrafast fiber laser systems, one for eye surgery, with a tunable repetition rate. The second one is for material cutting, emitting>1.5 kW average power with more than 40 dB suppression of stimulated Raman scattering effects.
Here in Garching, Yang will help us develop the next-generation infrasampler technology based on our new Cr:ZnS laser platform. In particular, he will work on increasing our spectral coverage of field-resolved spectroscopy towards longer infrared wavelengths. This will extend our access to resonance vibrations of biomolecular samples and increase the information content for blood-based health monitoring and disease detection.
