ROBERT EASON, PhD, is Professor of Optoelectronics at theOptoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University ofSouthampton, UK, and a member of the ORC Management Board.Professor Eason has more than 140 journal and 160 conferencepublications to his credit. His achievements in PLD include theworld's first lasing PLD waveguide (Nd:GGG on YAG), quasi-threelevel c.w. operation of Nd:GGG, the growth of single crystalthin-film sapphire that matches the best bulk sapphire grown todate, and the first successful growth and laser operation ofTi:sapphire on sapphire waveguides.
