High-power thulium fibre lasers
2 µm Tm- and Ho-based lasers
Richard Švejkar received his master’s degree in Laser technique and electronics in 2016 and his PhD degree in Physical Engineering in 2021 at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering at Czech Technical University in Prague. During the last seven years Richard’s main research area was near- and mid-infrared free-space solid-state lasers, predominantly erbium and iron-based laser gain media emitting from 3 to 5 µm. From 2023 he is a Research Fellow at the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton. His main research interest is now focused on high-power thulium fibre lasers generating laser radiation around 2 µm. He is the author or co-author of more than 40 journal and conference papers. Currently, he is a member of the Optica and SPIE.
