The study of nonlinear optical phenomena in micro and nano-scale engineered cavities and waveguides present opportunities to further improve our fundamental understanding of such processes as well as to design new practical devices. Prof. Wiederhecker's role in this project is to explore a variety of materials and devices to study nonlinear phenomena based either on electronic (e.g., Kerr,TPA) or mechanical properties (e.g., acoustic and optical phonons) and their technological applications.
Assistant Professor of the Gleb Wataghin Physics Institute (IFGW) at the University of Campinas
Gustavo Wiederhecker is an Associate Professor with the Applied Physics Department in the University of Campinas, which he joined in 2011. His area of research embraces several aspects of nanophotonics, including the interaction between optical and mechanical waves and Kerr-based nonlinearities in nano-waveguides and microcavities. Wiederhecker obtained his PhD in 2008 at the University of Campinas in Brazil followed by a post-doctoral fellowship at Cornell University with Prof. Michal Lipson. He is a member of Optical Society of America and affiliate member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
