S. O. Slipchenko

Sergey O. Slipchenko was born in Kirovsk, Russia, in 1977. He received the M.S. degree in optoelectronics, in 2000. In 1994, he joined the Department of Micro and Optoelectronics, V.I. Ulyanov (Lenin) Leningrad Electro-Technical Institute. In 2000, he joined the Semiconductor Luminescence and Injection Emitters Laboratory, Ioffe Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Since 2000, he has been a Member of the scientific staff with Semiconductor Luminescence and Injection Emitters Laboratory. His Ph.D. dissertation (2004) was devoted to development and investigation of GaAs-based high power lasers with low internal optical losses based on asymmetric heterostructure. He is the author of more than 140 papers in national and international journals and Conference Proceedings. His research interests include modeling, growth, and manufacturing of different types of semiconductor lasers emitting in 650–1800 nm wavelength range. He was awarded the Golden Medal of the Russian Academy of Science as Young Scientist for the year 2008 for his contributions to low internal optical losses heterostructures and development of high power lasers.
