Research Activities in the Past
During my Ph.D. I worked on femtosecond/ultrashort pulsed laser development and diagnostics: The Ph.D. research revolved around maintaining and upgrading the 1-kHz repetition rate femtosecond laser system. The second amplifier of the system was upgraded with higher efficiency. In upgrading, I was mostly involved in Carrier-Envelope Phase stabilization (CEP) and generating few-cycle laser pulses. The aim was to study the ultrafast phenomena in gases. The LabVIEW programming is intensively involved in CEP stabilization.
As a Postdoc research fellow, I worked on compressing sub-100 femtosecond pulses and diagnostics. I generated the white-light continuum as a seed for the OPCPA [Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplification] system. A complex diagnostic system designed to characterize the white-light continuum pulses. A very important diagnostic technique called Frequency-Resolved Optical (FROG) was developed at the laboratory to characterize the white-light continuum.
A low-cost prototype nitrogen laser developed at LUMS demonstrates the gas lasers; in this project, air is used as an active medium and high voltage power supply designed to use as a pump source for this laser.
Actively participated in establishing the attosecond laser laboratory, setup the femtosecond laser systems at King Saud University with the collaboration of Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Munich, Germany.
Research Laboratory of Laser establish at COMSATS University Islamabad. Set up the BLS [Brillouin Light Scattering] system, and designing and building of femtosecond fiber laser diagnostics system. Apart of these at LUMS
