Biography
Michael Vasilyev received the M.S. degree (diploma) summa cum laude in Applied Mathematics and Physics from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia, in 1993, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, in 1999.
His research at Lebedev Physics Institute (Moscow, Russia) in 1993-1994 and subsequent doctoral work at Northwestern University were on quantum properties of novel optical amplifiers and solitons in optical fibers, including development of homodyne tomography of multimode quantum states and first experimental demonstrations of noiseless fiber amplifier and noiseless amplification of images.
After joining Corning Inc.'s Photonic Research and Test Center (Somerset, NJ) as a Senior Research Scientist in 1999, he performed experimental and theoretical studies of fiber transmission issues, noise and nonlinearities in Raman and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), and architectures for ultra-long-haul dense wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) networks.
In 2003 he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington.
Dr. Vasilyev has authored and co-authored over 180 technical papers in journals and conference proceedings. He holds 10 U.S. patents and is a recipient of 2008 DARPA Young Faculty Award.
Dr. Vasilyev was a co-Chair of the 2014 and 2015 IEEE Photonics Society Summer Topical Meetings on Nonlinear-Optical Signal Processing. He served as a Chair and Vice-Chair of Quantum Optics Technical Group of Quantum Electronics Division of the Optical Society of America (OSA). He is a co-founder and past Chair of the Fort Worth Chapter of the IEEE Photonics Society (formerly known as LEOS). He is currently an Associate Editor for IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, and was the Primary Guest Editor of 2008 and 2012 "Nonlinear-Optical Signal Processing" special issues of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. He has been a member or a chair of the technical program committees for the Optical Fiber Communication conference (2015, 2016, 2017), Photonics West conference (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017), Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (2005, 2006, 2007, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017), and OSA's Optical Amplifiers and their Applications (OAA) conference (2002, 2003 and 2004). He served as a president of the OSA Student Chapter at Northwestern University in 1998-1999 and as a principal organizer of the 2nd Midwest Regional Meeting of the OSA Student Chapters in 1998. Dr. Vasilyev is a faculty co-advisor of the OSA Student Chapter at the UTA. He is a Fellow of the OSA and a Senior Member of the IEEE Photonics and Communication Societies.

Adaptive-optical-comb-enabled integrated multi-species gas analysis platform sponsored by Army Research Office (ARO) - $399,999In this project we propose to develop a highly-selective miniaturized chemical sensor by combining adaptive comb spectroscopy, real-time signal processing, and micro-gas-chromatography (micro-GC).Comb spectroscopy permits continuous monitoring of the absorption spectra sensitive to many TS without slow-sweep limitation of a tunable laser source and with no need for bulky and expensive high-resolution spectrometers. The modern comb sources require relatively small pump power and can be built on a chip. Although a single infrared (IR) spectroscopy setup can be used for a wide variety of TS, its chemical selectivity is usually limited, because the complex organic molecules typically have IR absorption spectra that considerably overlap with the spectra of other complex molecules, as well as with the spectra of the abundant atmospheric gases and common pollutants. To overcome this limitation, we propose to achieve extremely high chemical selectivity in a novel two-stage process. At the first stage, implemented on-chip using micro-GC, various chemicals present in the sample are sorted during propagation in a microscopic column according to one or more classifying parameters (e.g., their volatility and/or polarity). This process separates the low-concentration TS from high-concentration atmospheric gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) comprising the bulk of the CS. The multiple TS along with some remaining CS (not separated from TS after micro-GC) of similar volatility (or polarity) class are subsequently measured by comb spectroscopy. The second-stage selectivity is achieved by applying advanced signal processing techniques to the analysis of the measured IR spectra and by adaptively shaping the comb spectra during the measurement to minimize the errors in estimating the TS concentrations. As a result of multiplication of selectivities of the two stages, the proposed miniaturized sensor will be able to accurately measure the concentrations of a wide variety of TS in the presence of several-orders-of-magnitude higher concentrations of CS, improving the chemical selectivity of the state-of-the-art spectroscopic methods by at least an order of magnitude.read more...

Investigation of On-Chip Phase-sensitive Amplifiers sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) - $75,000 PIIn this project, we propose to address and resolve these conceptual obstacles on the path to building an on-chip PSA.In particular, we will find the conditions under which the SOA- and nonlinear-waveguide-based PSAs can operate in the low-noise (noise figure significantly below the 3-dB quantum limit) regime. We will further analyze the conditions under which the PSAs can provide the amplitude- and phase-regenerating functionality. We will translate these findings into practical architectures that can be fabricated and explored experimentally by our collaborators at the UCSB. Our work will be done in close collaboration with the group of Prof. A. Mecozzi at the University of L?Aquila (Italy), who is submitting a separate sister-proposal to DARPA. UTA is the lead organization for this work, which totals $150K (UTA share $75K).read more...

"UTA Spring Seed Research and Instrument Acquisition FY06" - Nonlinear-Optical Metamaterials for Mid-IR Image Conversion and Amplification - $140,000 PIThe university of Texas at Arlington (lead PI), in collaboration with Corning Inc.(co-PI), AFRL (collaborator), and Raytheon proposes a 2-year research program to investigate and develop nevel nanostructured nonlinear-optical metamaterials that will enable efficient up-conversion (either with or without simultaneous optical amplifiaction) of mid-infrared (mid-IR) images into visible or near-IR spectral range for subsequesnt detection by conventional silicon photodiode arrays or charged-coupled devices (CCDs). The novel metameaterials will comprise nonlinear-optical nanoclusters (e.g. nanocrystals, polyumer molecules or quantum dots) embedded into array of sub-wavelength sized metal cavities (nanocavities) surrounded by periodic corrugations. Surface waves (plasmons)excited by the corrugations will channel the light into the sub-wavelengths cavities, where the nonlinear-optical interaction will increase dramatically, leading to high mid-IR-to-visible conversion efficiency even at low pump powers. Incontrast to state-of-the-art photovotaic, photoconductive and microbolometric mid-IR imaging approaches, the proposed technique will offer: 1) singel-photon sensitivity, 2)polarization selectivity, 3) potential room-temperature operation, and 40high-speed detection capapbility (via the use of silicon p-i-n photodiodes). Since these features are highly valuable for coherent- (Doppler -shift) and direct-detection-based LADARs, the development of such LADARs will be greatly facilitated by the success of the proposed program, thereby leading to potential long-term AGRL collaboration, as well as to nanotechnology transfer path to materials/components (Corning) and modules/integrated-system (Raytheon) manufacturers.read more...
