Graduate Researcher for Professor Rick Trebino (Physics @ GT)
Atlanta, GA
Working with the frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) technique to measure ultrashort laser pulses, particularly, to investigate optical rogue waves. I have been assessing the capabilities of FROG’s iterative algorithm for phase retrieval of extremely complicated pulses and making improvements where needed.
