Dynamic optical injection of mode-locked quantum-dot lasers for high-speed optical sampling (Invited Paper)

Dr. Maria Ana Cataluna received a Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of St. Andrews, UK and is currently an Associate Professor at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. She was the recipient of an ERC Starting Grant, the Philip Leverhulme Prize, the Royal Academy of Engineering/EPSRC Research Fellowship and the IEEE Photonics Society Graduate Student Fellowship. She has served as a Senior Editor for the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. Dr. Cataluna was also the Chair of the Semiconductor Lasers committee for CLEO-Europe from 2014 to 2017. Her research interests include the physics and technology of semiconductor ultrafast laser diodes and photonic systems, as well as novel high-speed sensing applications enabled by ultrafast photonics.
