معرفی
John McInerney is a Professor and Head of the Department of Physics at University College Cork (UCC). His research focuses on semiconductor laser physics and technology, including the dynamics of lasers, nonlinear optical systems, optical switching, and applications of lasers in medical and engineering fields. He has contributed significantly to the development of quantum-dot lasers, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), and stabilization techniques for mode-locked lasers.
His research interests span semiconductor laser dynamics, ultrafast optical processes, and the development of high-brightness laser systems. He has explored topics such as laser stabilization via optical injection and feedback, mode-locking techniques, and the integration of lasers with fiber cavities. His work emphasizes both fundamental physics and practical applications, such as laser-based sensing and high-speed optical communication systems.
Recent publications highlight his contributions to quantum-dash mode-locked lasers, frequency comb generation, and the optimization of laser performance through advanced cavity designs and material engineering. Collaborations with international researchers underscore his global impact in advancing laser technology and photonics.
