John Marsh has wide experience of semiconductor laser technology, ranging from epitaxial growth through to the design and development of integrated laser modules for applications including advanced printing and imaging. His work has included research into the fundamental electrical and optical properties of semiconductors, development of novel optoelectronic devices, processes for creating photonic integrated circuits and development and manufacturing of high-power laser array products. He is a founder of Intense and also holds the post of Professor of Optoelectronic Systems in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Glasgow. Prof Marsh is a graduate of the Universities of Cambridge, Liverpool and Sheffield. He moved to the University of Glasgow in 1986, where he established an internationally leading research group addressing linear and nonlinear integrated optoelectronic systems. In particular he developed new integration technologies for photonic integrated circuits based on quantum well devices and quantum well intermixing. He has published or presented more than 420 papers, including 60 invited papers, in international journals and conferences. He holds 13 granted patents. He is President of the IEEE/Lasers and Electro-Optics Society (IEEE/LEOS) in 2008 and 2009. From 1999 - 2005 he was a member of the Board of Governors of the Society, serving as a Vice-President on two occasions and one term as an elected member. He has been a member of Executive Committee of the IET's Photonics Professional Network since 2001. He was awarded the 2006 IEEE/LEOS Engineering Achievement Award with Professor Catrina Bryce 'for extensive development and commercialization of quantum well intermixing for photonic devices'. He was also awarded the 2006 IEEE/LEOS Distinguished Service Award 'for major contributions to LEOS governance and for leadership in promoting the development of LEOS as a global society'. |
