Michelle Sander

The Sander group explores optical material interactions to develop novel laser sources in the infrared and mid-infrared wavelength regime. Our research focuses on novel ultrafast devices and how ultrafast and photothermal light interactions can fuel new applications in biomedical imaging and material characterization. We study femtosecond pulse generation techniques (1 femtosecond = 10-15 seconds) to […]
