Hi,
I’m interested in an autocorrelator for characterising modelocked thulium fiber
and waveguide lasers. Could you please provide a cost estimate, so that I can
use it in a proposal I’m putting together.
Thanks

Qualifications
BSc: University of NSW (Hons1) 1991
PhD: Macquarie University 1997
Research Interests
I conducted my Phd at Macquarie University (The centre for lasers and
applications) in experimental laser physics and worked in the area of 'line
selective mid-infrared lasers'. In 1997 I moved to Houston, TX and worked as a
postdoctoral researcher at Rice University for 3 years, developing portable
difference frequency based trace gas sensors. During this postdoc collaborations
were conducted with Aerodyne Research, NASA (Johnson) and NRL. In 2000 I took up
a Research Scientist position with the DSTO (Defence Science and Technology) in
Australia, and conducted research in the areas of lasers, electronic warfare,
and electrooptical technologies.
In 2010 I have moved to the Institute of Photonics and Advanced Sensing at
Adelaide University where I will continue and expand my research into fibre
lasers, mid-infrared lasers, solid-state lasers, optical parametric oscillators,
trace gas sensing, fibre fabrication, microstructured fibres, electronic
warfare, and photonics for defence.
