Martin Fejer

Martin Michael Fejer (* around 1954) is an American physicist who deals with the development of optical devices and non-linear optics .

Fejer received his bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 1977 and received his PhD in applied physics from Stanford University in 1986 ( single crystal fibers: growth dynamics and nonlinear optical interactions ). Since then he has taught at Stanford, where he became an Acting Assistant Professor in 1986, Assistant Professor in 1989, Associate Professor in 1994 and Professor of Applied Physics in 2000.

He is at the Ginzton Laboratory and has been a co-director (with Robert Byer and David AB Miller ) of the Stanford Photonics Research Center since 1992 . From 2002 to 2005 he headed the Applied Physics department at Stanford. He took over the office again in 2016. From 2005 to 2010 he was Senior Associate Dean for Science .

He deals with nonlinear optics and optical waveguides , especially the use of microstructured nonlinear optical materials ( e.g. semiconductors , ferroelectrics ) for optical signal processing and wavelength conversion in devices for telecommunications, for sensor optics and optical precision measurements. He also deals with optics for aviation and optics with ultrashort laser pulses .

He has published over 340 scientific papers and holds 36 patents (2013).

He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and on the Council of IEEE LEOS. In 1998 he received the RW Wood Prize with Byer . In 2016 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences .
