Gong-Ru Lin (林恭如) 简历 与报告摘要 1. 简历 Short Biography: Prof. Gong-Ru Lin received his B. S. degree of Physics from Soochow University in 1988, M. S. and Ph. D degrees of electro-optical engineering from National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) in 1990 and 1996, respectively. He was the faculty with National United University, Tatung University, National Taipei University of Technology, National Chiao Tung University from 1997 to 2006. Since 2006, he joined the Graduate Institute of photonics and Optoelectronics as a full professor, and a joint professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University. He is currently the Director of GIPO, NTU. He has a broad research spectrum covering ultrafast fiber lasers, semiconductor laser diodes, fiber-optic communications, silicon and carbon nanophotonics. He has (co)authored more than 200 papers in SCI-ranked journals and 300 papers in international conferences. Prof. Lin also served as the associate editor of “Journal of Lightwave Technology”, and editorial board members of "Journal of Nanomaterials" and "Current Nanoscience". He received three times the outstanding research awards from National Science Council in 1997, 1998, and 2000 in recognition of his contribution to Arsenic-rich GaAs based optoelectronic switch and phase-locked-loop phase shifter. His has also awarded the 2000 Tien Jea Bien Young Scholar Prize by the Optical Engineering Society of R. O. C.. His achievement in injection-locked laser diode based data-format converter made him the recipient of the Third Best Scientific and Technical Paper Award (with co-authors) from the Far Eastern Y. Z. Hsu Science & Technology Memorial Foundation of R. O. C. in 2004, the Young Scholar Research Award from NCTU in 2005, and the Award of Outstanding Youth Electrical Engineer from SIEE in 2005. In 2011, he received the three-year Distinguished Research Award from National Science Council (國科會傑出獎) owing to his pioneer work on the optical injection induced femtosecond harmonic mode-locking of semiconductor optical amplifier incorporated fiber lasers. To date, Prof. Lin is a senior member of IEEE, a senior member of OSA, a Fellow of SPIE (FSPIE) since 2008, a Fellow of IET (FIET) since 2009, and a Fellow of IOP (FInstP) since 2010. Prof. Lin is currently the OSA Traveling Lecturer and the SPIE Visit Lecturer. 2. 报告摘要 1. Introduction to National Taiwan University 2. Low temperature PECVD growth of few-layer graphene and its applications Abstract: Versatile nano-scale carbon materials including graphene, graphite, graphene oxide, carbon black, and charcoal powers have been employed as the saturable absorbers for passively mode-locking the Erbium doped fiber lasers (EDFLs). In this presentation, I will briefly review the performances of the mode-locked EDFLs started with the aforementioned materials. The key parameters and mechanisms contributed to the pulse shortening force in the Erbium-doped fiber lasers passively mode-locked by different nano-scale carbon powder based saturable absorbers will be discussed. In particular, the combining effects such as the cooperative saturable absorption, linear and non-linearity transmission, self-phase modulation and dispersion compensation are also introduced in this talk. Sub-500 fs pulse can be obtained with the use of all kinds of nano-scale carbon materials, and the shortest solitonpulsewidths around 300 fs obtained from the Erbium-doped fiber laser mode-locked by using single- and few-layer graphene powders are demonstrated.
