Biography
Dr. David C. Brown is the Founder and CTO of Advanced Photonic Sciences, a renowned laser physicist and engineer, and is a pioneer in cryogenic high-power solid-state lasers and in the understanding of thermal effects in cryogenic and fiber lasers. He has published widely on high average power CW, picosecond, and frequency-doubled picosecond cryogenic Yb:YAG laser systems, and on the room-temperature and cryogenic spectroscopy of Yb:YAG, Ho:YAG, Yb:LuAG, and Yb:Lu2O3. He has held senior research positions at The Laboratory For Laser Energetics at The University of Rochester, Northrop-Grumman, and the GE Corporate Research and Development Center.
Dr. Brown is a Fellow of The Optical Society of America (OSA), and serves as a reviewer for over 16 laser and optics journals worldwide. He is a life member of OSA and IEEE, and a frequent contributor to their journals.
