About the presenter:
Thomas Quenzel studied photonics at the University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer, Germany. He advanced his studies during the master’s course in engineering physics with specialization in lasers and optics at the Carl-von-Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany. He is currently a doctoral candidate after completing his thesis about nonlinear optical parametric amplifier development and their use in time-resolved nonlinear spectroscopy of complex many body systems in the group of Professor Christoph Lienau. Quenzel has been employed as junior product manager for optical frequency combs since October 2023.

Alexander Kastner, Ph.D., studied physics at and received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. He received his doctorate from the University of Kassel on ultra-fast photoelectron spectroscopy using femtosecond lasers. He joined Menlo Systems as a development engineer in 2019. In 2021, he became group leader on laser development at Menlo. The group is focused on industrial grade laser systems for nonlinear processes as well as frequency combs in the near- and mid-IR spectral region. Menlo was part of the EU-funded quantum flagship project Qombs using mid-IR frequency combs to combine the ease of use of quantum cascade lasers with the accuracy of frequency combs. Mid-IR frequency combs were used in an industrial environment enabling process control of plasma nitriding processes within the project InPro-F.

Dag Schmidt, Ph.D., studied physics at the technical university in Karlsruhe and the Eberhard-Karls-University in Tübingen, Germany. He specialized in quantum-optics, and atom- and laser-physics and gained his diploma and doctorate in physics at the University of Tübingen, in the group of Dr. Claus Zimmermann. He joined Menlo Systems in 2017 as a field service engineer. Since 2018, Schmidt has been working as product manager for optical frequency combs at Menlo Systems, adapting these high-tech systems to the demanding applications of our customers. Additionally, since 2022, he has also been responsible for quantum laser systems, which provide sub-Hz CW-laser outputs for high-end applications like quantum computing or sensing and optical clocks.
