Developing high-power, single-mode fiber lasers for industrial use, resulting in kW-class fiber laser products. Developing components for high-power fiber lasers. Developed a statistical database to identify issues related to changes of processes and materials, which may affect production. Researched and developed models on Stimulated Raman Scattering.

Redmond, WA

Led research and development of day-night cameras for small UAVs. Resulted in very compact day-night camera with optical zoom capability. Developed a very simple illuminator with a continuously-variable divergence. Integrated camera and illuminator into single unit. Successfully field tested (ground and airborne) to show image quality and day/night.

Bothell, WA

Led research and development of bio-medical laser sources:* Developed a flying spot, deep-UV laser source for laser vision correction, basing the source on fifth harmonic generation (209 nm) of a diode-pumped Nd:YLF laser. * Developed a rapidly tunable, single-transverse-mode diode laser for detection of vulnerable plaques in arteries, thus providing a.
