Fiber lasers, Spectroscopic detection of traces gases
Biography
Dahv Kliner obtained a Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1991 from Stanford University, where he studied the quantum-state-resolved dynamics of gas-phase chemical reactions. He performed postdoctoral research in ultrafast spectroscopy at the University of Minnesota and in atmospheric chemistry at Harvard University. He was at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA, from 1997 until 2008, where he led Sandia’s fiber-laser program. This program involved more than 20 researchers at multiple institutions and developed key enabling technologies for power scaling of fiber sources. He is now at JDSU in Milpitas, CA, developing pulsed fiber sources for commercial applications. Dahv and his coworkers have pursued a variety of applications for fiber lasers, including real-time detection of natural-gas leaks in refineries, measurements of mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants, and high-sensitivity measurements of atmospheric sulfur dioxide for climate and air-quality studies.
