Mher Ghulinyan
Researcher I&QO unit, Center for Sensors & Devices
M.S. in 1995 and Doctoral degree in physics in 1999 from the Yerevan State University. As a postdoc (2002 to 2006) at the University of Trento, his early-career research in Silicon Photonics – Optical superlattices (OSL) – paved the way to the first-time demonstrations of fundamental phenomena: photonic Bloch oscillations [PRL-2003] and resonant Zener tunneling [PRL-2005-a], Anderson localization of light and observation of optical necklaces [PRL-2005-b], vapor control of photonic bands [PRB-2006] and all-optical switching using capillary condensation [Nat.Photon.-2007]. Currently, he is a senior researcher at SD-FBK and holds a leading role in the development of SD-FBK’s capacities to perform optical engineering and fabrication of different micro/nano-optical components and circuitry. His interests are in the field of resonator optics, with a particular focus on the developments towards integrated Silicon Quantum Photonics and monolithic integration with Si detectors. He held the course of Photonics at the University of Trento as a contract professor from 2013 to 2018. He is a Senior member of Optica (former OSA), active reviewer for NPG, APS and OSA, author of one book, several book-chapters, editor of one book, more than 140 research papers and inventor of several patents.
