Vladimir Petricevic

Dr. Vladimir Petricevic is a Professor at the City College of the City University of New York (CCNY), affiliated with the Institute for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Lasers and the Department of Physics. His research focuses on advanced laser materials, spectroscopic characterization, and photonics applications. He has pioneered work on chromium-doped crystalline and glass-ceramic materials for tunable solid-state lasers, particularly in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum.

Research Interests include:

• Development of novel laser materials (e.g., Cr³⁺/Cr⁴⁺ doped crystals and glasses)
• Spectroscopic analysis of optical centers and energy transitions
• Optimization of laser performance through crystal growth and doping techniques
• Applications in telecommunications, ultrafast lasers, and medical devices

Key Contributions include pioneering Cr⁴⁺-based tunable lasers, demonstrating continuous-wave operation in forsterite and cunyite crystals, and developing femtosecond laser systems. His work bridges materials science and applied physics, emphasizing practical applications in photonics and optoelectronics.
