Miguel A. Larotonda

Miguel A. Larotonda received the Licenciatura degree in physics and the Doctorado in physics in 2002 from Buenos Aires University, Buenos Aires, Argentina, working at the Centro de Investigaciones en Laseres y Aplicaciones (CITEFA-CONICET) where he was focused on studying the dynamics of short pulse all-solid-state lasers. After receiving his Doctorado, he spent one year at the Quantum Electronics Laboratory, Universidad de Buenos Aires, working on a two-color pump and probe experiment to study lifetimes of excited states on wide bandgap crystals. At present, he is a Posdoctoral Fellow at the Electrical Engineering Department, Colorado State University, Fort Collins. His present research interests include the development of new laser sources in the extreme-UV region of the spectrum and their use in applications, as well as the development of high-peak power visible laser systems.
