Mansoor Sheik-Bahae

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mansoor Sheik-Bahae (* 1956 in Isfahan ) is an American physicist who deals with laser physics and non-linear optics .

Sheik-Bahae earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering summa cum laude in 1980 and master's degree from the Catholic University of America in 1982 and received his PhD from the State University of New York in Buffalo in 1987 . From 1990 to 1994 he was Associate Research Professor at the University of Central Florida (CREOL), from 1994 Assistant Professor, 1999 Associate Professor and 2005 Professor at the University of New Mexico .

Together with Eric Van Stryland and Ali Said, he developed the Z-Scan technique for measuring nonlinear optical material properties (absorption coefficient and refractive index). Also with Eric Van Stryland, he investigated Kramers-Kronig relations for nonlinearities and cascade effects of second order nonlinearities. He also examined the cooling of solid-state lasers and developed an algorithm within the framework of the Kerr lens autocorrelation technique for the characterization of ultra-short laser pulses (Mosaic algorithm).

He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (2000) and received the RW Wood Prize with Van Stryland in 2012 .
