10.0008: Fiber Optics and Fiber Lasers (With Sir David Payne) and Time and Frequency (With Tara Fortier) (12/17/2024)
In season ten’s finale, "All Things Photonics" speaks with its first knighted guest:
Sir David Payne, Director of the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton. Sir David is recognized as a pioneer in fiber laser research, having broken the kilowatt output barrier, and in fiber optics research, where he contributed to the development of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier. Later, we speak with
Tara Fortier, project leader at the Time and Frequency Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Fortier’s research is focused on precision optical and microwave metrology, and the development of optical clocks.
