Time: 15:00-16:00 p.m,June 4( Monday )
Location:Auditorium on 4th floor,School of Information Science and Engineering
Report:Advanced Laser Simulation
Speaker:Prof. Christoph Pflaum
Prof. Christoph Pflaum is from Department Informatik at University Erlangen-Nürnberg and now he is also the director of ASLD GmbH and distinguished consultant for laser design. He was awarded his PhD from the Technical University Munich in 1996, Since then he has made many contributions to the development of Laser simulation.
His research mainly focuses on the simulation of long laser resonators, he is currently working on new concepts to simulate optical beams in laser resonators by a time dependent Gauss-mode analysis and new FE-dicretizations. He has developed a laser simulation software ASLD. He and his group members also develop new concepts and libraries to provide simulations of thin film solar cells by high performance computing.
His report about Advanced Laser Simulations includes:
- thermal lensing effects
- calculation of beam quality and output power
- active and passive Q-switching
