Ruud Oldenbeuving - Principal member of technical staff, imec
Ruud is an all-round expert in laser physics, specialized in hybrid integration of passive and active photonic integrated circuits. He has worked for almost 15 years in the field of Silicon Nitride integrated photonics. In addition, he has about 20 years of experience with nearly any type of laser: from Terawatt pulsed laser systems to microwatt external cavity diode lasers. He pioneered the record-breaking ultra-narrow linewidth tunable lasers that combine low-loss Si3N4 waveguides with high power InP gain sections, which are currently commercialized by several international companies. To achieve the best customer experience, he combined active and passive photonic integrated circuits, electronics, packaging and software to build photonic integrated systems.
