Lars Emil Gutt

Lars Emil Gutt is a Postdoc at the Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), affiliated with the High-Speed Optical Communications Centre of Excellence for Silicon Photonics for Optical Communications. His research focuses on integrated photonics and optical communications, particularly in the areas of Bragg gratings, wavelength conversion, and optical time lenses.

His educational background includes a PhD in Photonics from DTU, completed in January 2024. The PhD thesis, titled "Integrated Optical Time Lenses for Passive Optical Networks: For Generation Of On-Chip Optical Fourier Transforms", was supervised by P. D. Girouard and L. K. Oxenløwe.

Gutt's research spans several key areas in photonics, with a strong emphasis on silicon photonics and optical signal processing. His work on Bragg gratings in thin-film lithium niobate and amorphous silicon waveguides has advanced the field of integrated optical components. He has made significant contributions to wavelength conversion techniques using four-wave mixing and to the development of optical time lenses for passive optical networks, enabling high-speed data transmission and signal processing in modern communication systems.

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on practical applications in optical communications, particularly in the generation and processing of high-speed optical signals. The research trends indicate a move towards more efficient and compact photonic integrated circuits for next-generation communication networks.

Gutt has been involved in the "Optical Time Lenses for Passive Optical Networks" project (2020-2024), which formed the basis of his PhD work. This project, funded by DTU, aimed at developing on-chip optical Fourier transforms for passive optical networks.

He is an active member of the High-Speed Optical Communications research group at DTU, collaborating with leading researchers in the field to advance silicon photonics and optical communication technologies.
