Personal profile

Profile

Kresten Yvind’s research activities focus on optical semiconductor components, including theory, fabrication, testing, and applications. He has established facilities at DTU and procedures for the production of so-called III-V semiconductors (GaAs, InP, and the alloys InAlGaAsP) in collaboration with DTU-Danchip (now DTU Nanolab).

His special interests include (nonlinear) photonic integrated circuits (optical chips) and advanced (e.g., pulsed or MEMS-tunable) lasers. These are used in telecommunications, medical diagnostics (www.octlight.com), and in sensors.

He teaches semiconductor physics, electro-optical materials and lasers (course 34034), photonic integrated circuits (course 34062), and advanced photonic components (course 34091, PhD level).
